Abstract: 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 new elliptic analogue of the Apostol-Dedekind sums. Then we will show that the newly defined sums generate all odd Dedekind symbols with Laurent polynomial reciprocity laws. Our construction is based on Machide's result on his elliptic Dedekind-Rademacher sums. As an application of our results, we discover Eisenstein series identities which generalize certain formulas by Ramanujan, van der Pol, Rankin and Skoruppa.


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.
