Fractional parts of Dedekind sums

چکیده
Using a recent improvement by Bettin and Chandee to a bound of Duke, Friedlander and Iwaniec (1997) on double exponential sums with Kloosterman fractions, we establish a uniformity of distribution result for the fractional parts of Dedekind sums s(m,n) with m and n running over rather general sets. Our result extends earlier work of Myerson (1988) and Vardi (1987). Using different techniques, we also study the least denominator of the collection of Dedekind sums { s(m,n) : m ∈ (Z/nZ)∗ } on average for n ∈ [1, N ]. MSC numbers: 11D45, 11D72, 11L40

A hybrid mean value involving a new Gauss sums and Dedekind sums
In this paper, we introduce a new sum analogous to Gauss sum, then we use the properties of the classical Gauss sums and analytic method to study the hybrid mean value problem involving this new sums and Dedekind sums, and give an interesting identity for it.
متن کاملDedekind sums : a combinatorial - geometric viewpoint Matthias Beck and Sinai Robins
The literature on Dedekind sums is vast. In this expository paper we show that there is a common thread to many generalizations of Dedekind sums, namely through the study of lattice point enumeration of rational poly-topes. In particular, there are some natural finite Fourier series which we call Fourier-Dedekind sums, and which form the building blocks of the number of partitions of an integer...
متن کاملThe Elliptic Apostol-dedekind Sums Generate Odd Dedekind Symbols with Laurent Polynomial Reciprocity Laws
Abstract. Dedekind symbols are generalizations of the classical Dedekind sums (symbols). There is a natural isomorphism between the space of Dedekind symbols with Laurent polynomial reciprocity laws and the space of modular forms. We will define a new elliptic analogue of the Apostol-Dedekind sums. Then we will show that the newly defined sums generate all odd Dedekind symbols with Laurent poly...
متن کاملGenerating functions and generalized Dedekind sums
We study sums of the form ∑ ζ R(ζ), where R is a rational function and the sum is over all nth roots of unity ζ (often with ζ = 1 excluded). We call these generalized Dedekind sums, since the most well-known sums of this form are Dedekind sums. We discuss three methods for evaluating such sums: The method of factorization applies if we have an explicit formula for ∏ ζ(1− xR(ζ)). Multisection ca...
متن کاملDedekind Sums and Values of L-functions at Positive Integers
In this paper, we study Dedekind sums and we connect them to the mean values of Dirichlet L-functions. For this, we introduce and investigate higher order dimensional Dedekind-Rademacher sums given by the expression Sd( −→ a0 , −→ m0) = 1 a0 0 a0−1 ∑
