Abstract: In this paper we investigate a certain category of cotangent sums and more specifically the sum ${\displaystyle }$sum_{m=1}^{b-1}cotleft(frac{pi m}{b} ight)sin^{3}left(2pi mfrac{a}{b} ight):${\displaystyle }$ and associate the distribution of its values to a generalized totient function $phi(n,A,B)$, where ${\displaystyle }$phi(n,A,B):=sum_{substack{Aleq k leq B \ (n,k)=1}}1:.${\displaystyle }$ One of the methods used consists in the exploitation of relations between trigonometric sums and the fractional part of a real number.
