The elliptic Apostol-Dedekind sums generate odd Dedekind symbols with Laurent polynomial reciprocity laws (Q2267759): Difference between revisions

This paper is concerned with Dedekind symbols which are generalizations of the classical Dedekind sums. The author uses a natural isomorphism to identify the space of Dedekind symbols with Laurent polynomial reciprocity laws and the space of modular forms. New elliptic analogues of the Apostol-Dedekind type sums are introduced. In this way all odd type Dedekind symbols with Laurent polynomial reciprocity laws are generated. The key tool in the process is a construction of Machide on the Dedekind-Rademacher type sums. Using this machinery, the author further obtains Eisenstein series identities that generalize earlier results of Ramanujan, van der Pol, Rankin and Skoruppa.
