Arithmetic of higher dimensional Dedekind-Rademacher sums (Q653663)

The sawtooth function, which appears in classical Dedekind sums has a discrete Fourier expansion in terms of the cotangent function. The authors generalize Dedekind sums using the derivatives of the cotangent function and derive the corresponding reciprocity formula. Rationality for these generalized sums and explicit bounds for their denominators are also proved.
