Abstract

For aZa\in \Bbb Z and bNb\in\Bbb N, (a,b)=1(a,b)=1, let s(a,b)s(a,b) denote the classical Dedekind sum. We show that Dedekind sums take this value infinitely many times in the following sense. There are pairs (ai,bi)(a_i,b_i), iNi\in\Bbb N, with bib_i tending to infinity as ii grows, such that s(ai,bi)=s(a,b)s(a_i,b_i)=s(a,b) for all iNi\in \Bbb N.
