Holomorphic Eisenstein series of rational weights and special values of Gamma function

Number Theory 2023-04-18 v2

Abstract

We give all possible holomorphic Eisenstein series on Γ0(p)\Gamma_0(p), of rational weights greater than 22, and with multiplier systems the same as certain rational-weight eta-quotients at all cusps. We prove they are modular forms and give their Fourier expansions. We establish four sorts of identities that equate such series to rational-weight eta-quotients. As an application, we give series expressions of special values of Euler Gamma function at any rational arguments. These expressions involve exponential sums of Dedekind sums.
