In this paper, we show that the regularized determinants of some Dirichlet series are multiplicative. As an application, we give generalizations of Lerch's formula for the classical gamma function and we determine the sum of some Dirichlet…
In correspondence with Goldbach, Euler began investigating series of the form $\sum_{k \geq 1} k^{-m}\left(1 + 2^{-n} + \cdots + k^{-n}\right)$, which are known today as Euler sums. For the case where $n=1$ and $m \geq 2$, Euler was able to…
This is a translation of Euler's Latin paper "De fractionibus continuis observationes" into English. In this paper Euler describes his theory of continued fractions. He teaches, how to transform series into continued fractions, solves the…
The aim of this work is to offer a general theory of reciprocity laws for symbols on arbitrary vector spaces, and to show that classical explicit reciprocity laws are particular cases of this theory (sum of valuations on a complete curve,…
After explaining the concepts of Langlands dual and miniscule representations, we define an analog of the Gauss sum for any compact, simple Lie group with a simply laced Lie algebra. We then show a reciprocity property when a Lie group is…
The evaluation of the interaction between objects arranged on a lattice requires the computation of lattice sums. A scenario frequently encountered are systems governed by the Helmholtz equation in the context of electromagnetic scattering…
Three types of reciprocity laws for arithmetic surfaces are established. For these around a point or along a vertical curve, we first construct $K_2$ type central extensions, then introduce reciprocity symbols, and finally prove the law as…
We present several results related to statistics for elliptic curves over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ as corollaries of a general theorem about averages of Euler products that we demonstrate. In this general framework, we can reprove…
In this paper, we study the alternating Euler $T$-sums and $\S$-sums, which are infinite series involving (alternating) odd harmonic numbers, and have similar forms and close relations to the Dirichlet beta functions. By using the method of…
Let $s(m,n)$ denote the classical \DED sum, where $n$ is a positive integer and $m\in\{0,1,\ldots, n-1\}$, $(m,n)=1$. For a given positive integer $k$, we describe a set of at most $k^2$ numbers $m$ for which $s(m,n)$ may be $\ge s(k,n)$,…
We establish transformation laws for generalized Dedekind sums associated to the Kronecker limit function of non-holomorphic Eisenstein series and their higher-order variants. These results apply to general Fuchsian groups of the first…
We show that each rational number $r$, $0\le r<1$, occurs as the fractional part of a Dedekind sum $S(m,n)$.
The polynomial Ramanujan sum was first introduced by Carlitz [7], and a generalized version by Cohen [10]. In this paper, we study the arithmetical and analytic properties of these sums, derive various fundamental identities, such as H…
A classical result of Dirichlet shows that certain elementary character sums compute class numbers of quadratic imaginary number fields. We obtain analogous relations between class numbers and a weighted character sum associated to a…
Translation from the Latin original, "Inventio summae cuiusque seriei ex dato termino generali" (1735). E47 in the Enestrom index. In this paper Euler derives the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula, by expressing y(x-1) with the Taylor…
The Dedekind tessellation -- the regular tessellation of the upper half-plane by the Mobius action of the modular group -- is usually viewed as a system of ideal triangles. We change the focus from triangles to circles and give their…
We prove a version of Dedekind's Transposition Principle that holds in lattices of equivalence relations.
In this paper, a formula for the calculation of the number of right cosets contained in a double coset with respect to a unimodular group over a Dedekind domain is developed, and applications of this formula in the theory of congruence…
We construct a singular homology theory on the category of schemes of finite type over a Dedekind domain and verify several basic properties. For arithmetic schemes we construct a reciprocity isomorphism between the integral singular…
We show that the graph of normalized elliptic Dedekind sums is dense in its image for arbitrary imaginary quadratic fields, generalizing a result of Ito in the Euclidean case. We also derive some basic properties of Martin's continued…
