New proof to Somos’s Dedekind eta-function identities of level 10

Michael Somos used PARI/GP script to generate several Dedekind eta-function identities by using computer. In the present work, we prove two new Dedekind eta-function identities of level 10 discovered by Somos in two different methods. Also during this process, we give an alternate method to Somos’s Dedekind eta-function identities of level 10 proved by B. R. Srivatsa Kumar and D. Anu Radha. As an application of this, we establish colored partition identities.

New approach to Somos’s Dedekind eta-function identities of level 6

In the present work, we prove few new Dedekind eta-function identities of level 6 discovered by Somos in two different methods. Also during this process, we give an alternate method to Somos’s Dedekind eta-function identities of level 6 proved by B. R. Srivatsa Kumar et. al. As an application of this, we establish colored partition identities.

Reciprocity of poly-Dedekind-type DC sums involving poly-Euler functions

The classical Dedekind sums appear in the transformation behavior of the logarithm of the Dedekind eta-function under substitutions from the modular group. The Dedekind sums and their generalizations are defined in terms of Bernoulli functions and their generalizations, and are shown to satisfy some reciprocity relations. In contrast, Dedekind-type DC (Daehee and Changhee) sums and their generalizations are defined in terms of Euler functions and their generalizations. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the poly-Dedekind-type DC sums, which are obtained from the Dedekind-type DC sums by replacing the Euler function by poly-Euler functions of arbitrary indices, and to show that those sums satisfy, among other things, a reciprocity relation.

Identities on poly-Dedekind sums

Dedekind sums occur in the transformation behavior of the logarithm of the Dedekind eta-function under substitutions from the modular group. In 1892, Dedekind showed a reciprocity relation for the Dedekind sums. Apostol generalized Dedekind sums by replacing the first Bernoulli function appearing in them by any Bernoulli functions and derived a reciprocity relation for the generalized Dedekind sums. In this paper, we consider the poly-Dedekind sums obtained from the Dedekind sums by replacing the first Bernoulli function by any type 2 poly-Bernoulli functions of arbitrary indices and prove a reciprocity relation for the poly-Dedekind sums.

A Generalization of the Secant Zeta Function as a Lambert Series

Recently, Lalín, Rodrigue, and Rogers have studied the secant zeta function and its convergence. They found many interesting values of the secant zeta function at some particular quadratic irrational numbers. They also gave modular transformation properties of the secant zeta function. In this paper, we generalized secant zeta function as a Lambert series and proved a result for the Lambert series, from which the main result of Lalín et al. follows as a corollary, using the theory of generalized Dedekind eta-function, developed by Lewittes, Berndt, and Arakawa.

ON A LATTICE GENERALISATION OF THE LOGARITHM AND A DEFORMATION OF THE DEDEKIND ETA FUNCTION

We consider a deformation $E_{L,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}}^{(m)}(it)$ of the Dedekind eta function depending on two $d$-dimensional simple lattices $(L,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC})$ and two parameters $(m,t)\in (0,\infty )$, initially proposed by Terry Gannon. We show that the minimisers of the lattice theta function are the maximisers of $E_{L,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}}^{(m)}(it)$ in the space of lattices with fixed density. The proof is based on the study of a lattice generalisation of the logarithm, called the lattice logarithm, also defined by Terry Gannon. We also prove that the natural logarithm is characterised by a variational problem over a class of one-dimensional lattice logarithms.

Recurrence relations for polynomials obtained by arithmetic functions

Families of polynomials associated to arithmetic functions [Formula: see text] are studied. The case [Formula: see text], the divisor sum, dictates the non-vanishing of the Fourier coefficients of powers of the Dedekind eta function. The polynomials [Formula: see text] are defined by [Formula: see text]-term recurrence relations. For the case that [Formula: see text] is a polynomial of degree [Formula: see text], we prove that at most a [Formula: see text] term recurrence relation is needed. For the special case [Formula: see text], we obtain explicit formulas and results.
