Dedekind sums are well-studied arithmetic sums, with values uniformly distributed on the unit interval. Based on their relation to certain modular forms, Dedekind sums may be defined as functions on the cusp set of $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$. We…

Dedekind sums are arithmetic sums that were first introduced by Dedekind in the context of elliptic functions and modular forms, and later recognized to be surprisingly ubiquitous. Among the variations and generalizations introduced since,…

Let a, a_1, ..., a_d be positive integers, m_1, ..., m_d nonnegative integers, and z_1, ..., z_d complex numbers. We study expressions of the form \[ \sum_{k \text{mod} a} \prod_{j=1}^d \cot^{(m_j)} \pi (\frac{k a_j}{a} + z_j ) . \] Here…

We study a generalization of the classical Dedekind sum that incorporates two Dirichlet characters and develop properties that generalize those of the classical Dedekind sum. By calculating the Fourier transform of this generalized Dedekind…

Dedekind sums have applications in quite a number of fields of mathematics. Therefore, their distribution has found considerable interest. This article gives a survey of several aspects of the distribution of these sums. In particular, it…

For a given family $(G_i)_{i \in \N}$ of finitely generated abelian groups, we construct a Dedekind domain $D$ having the following properties. \begin{enumerate} \item $\Pic(D) \cong \bigoplus_{i \in \N}G_i$. \item For each $i \in \N$,…

For primitive non-trivial Dirichlet characters $\chi_1$ and $\chi_2$, we study the weight zero newform Eisenstein series $E_{\chi_1,\chi_2}(z,s)$ at $s=1$. The holomorphic part of this function has a transformation rule that we express in…

We study reciprocity formulas for Dedekind sums associated with absolutely continuous functions, extending the classical Dedekind-Rademacher reciprocity formula. In particular, we treat the case of periodic Bernoulli functions. Our approach…

Elliptic Dedekind sums were introduced by R. Sczech as generalizations of classical Dedekind sums to complex lattices. We show that for any lattice with real $j$-invariant, the values of suitably normalized elliptic Dedekind sums are dense…

We give an explicit expression of the elliptic classical Dedekind sum which is a special case of multiple elliptic Dedekind sums introduced by Egami. We also determine the denominator of the rational part and zeros of the elliptic classical…

In [3] it was shown that the Dedekond sums $s(m_1,n)$ and $s(m_2,n)$ are equal only if $(m_1m_2-1)(m_1-m_2)\equiv 0$ mod $n$. Here we show that the latter condition is equivalent to $12s(m_1,n)-12s(m_2,n)\in \Z$. In addition, we determine,…

Let $S(a,b)$ denote the normalized Dedekind sum. We study the range of possible values for $S(a,b)=\frac{k}{q}$ with $\gcd(k,q)=1$. Girstmair proved local restrictions on $k$ depending on $q\pmod{12}$ and whether $q$ is a square and…

Dedekind sums, arithmetic correlation sums that arose in Dedekind's study of the modular transformation of the logarithm of the eta-function, are surprisingly ubiquitous. Their arithmetic properties attracted the attention of number…

As a consequence of their work, Bruce C. Berndt and Ronald J. Evans in 1977 and Larry Joel Goldstein and Michael Razar in 1976 obtained a formula for the square of the class number of an imaginary quadratic number field in terms of Dedekind…

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…

Pilz's conjecture states that for any finite set $A=\{a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k\}$ of positive integers and positive integer $n$ in the union of the sets $\{a_1,2a_1,\dots,na_1\},\dots, \{a_k,2a_k,\dots,na_k\}$ (considered as a multiset) at least…

In this paper, for coprime numbers p and q we consider the well known Dedekind sums S(p,q) First, we give an improvement of the proof given by H. Rademacher and A. Whiteman, and we construct a new arithmetical proof for the reciprocity law

Building upon the work of Stucker, Vennos, and Young we derive generalized Dedekind sums arising from period integrals applied to holomorphic Eisenstein series attached to pairs of primitive non-trivial Dirichlet characters. Furthermore, we…
