Report on Birs Workshop 09w5102 “dedekind Sums in Geometry, Topology, and Arithmetic”
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of the workshop was to explore the appearance of Dedekind sums [7, 18] in many different areas of geometry and number theory, with the hopes of illuminating new connections. We hoped that the balance between the lectures and free time as well as the intimate setting of the Banff Research Station would stimulate many informal discussions and collaborations. We were delighted to see that these objectives were fulfilled. We would like to thank the BIRS staff for their hospitality and efficiency.

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 کاملThe Reciprocity Law for Dedekind Sums via the constant Ehrhart coefficient
These sums appear in various branches of mathematics: Number Theory, Algebraic Geometry, and Topology; they have consequently been studied extensively in various contexts. These include the quadratic reciprocity law ([13]), random number generators ([12]), group actions on complex manifolds ([9]), and lattice point problems ([14], [5]). Dedekind was the first to show the following reciprocity l...

We prove their reciprocity Laws, we establish the Hecke action on these sums and we obtain new Knopp–Petersson identies....

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...
