Newform Dedekind sums are a class of crossed homomorphisms that arise from newform Eisenstein series. We initiate a study of the kernel of these newform Dedekind sums. Our results can be loosely described as showing that these kernels are neither too big nor too small. We conclude with an observation about the Galois action on Dedekind sums that allows for significant computational efficiency in the numerical calculation of Dedekind sums.
We define a new kind of classical digamma function, and establish its some fundamental identities. Then we apply the formulas obtained, and extend tools developed by Flajolet and Salvy to study more general Euler type sums. The main results of Flajolet and Salvys paper cite{FS1998} are the immediate corollaries of main results in this paper. Furthermore, we provide some parameterized extensions of Ramanujan-type identities that involve hyperbolic series. Some interesting new consequences and illustrative examples are considered.
The explicit formulas expressing harmonic sums via alternating Euler sums (colored multiple zeta values) are given, and some explicit evaluations are given as applications.
Let $R$ be an infinite Dedekind domain with at most finitely many units, and let $K$ denote its field of fractions. We prove the following statement. If $L/K$ is a finite Galois extension of fields and $mathcal{O}$ is the integral closure of $R$ in $L$, then $mathcal{O}$ contains infinitely many prime ideals. In particular, if $mathcal{O}$ is further a unique factorization domain, then $mathcal{O}$ contains infinitely many non-associate prime elements.
We present several sequences of Euler sums involving odd harmonic numbers. The calculational technique is based on proper two-valued integer functions, which allow to compute these sequences explicitly in terms of zeta values only.
