Abstract

Abstract Dedekind sums were introduced by Dedekind to study the transformation properties of Dedekind η function under the action of SL2(ℤ). In this paper, we study properties of generalized Dedekind sums s i,j (p, q). We prove an asymptotic expansion of a function on ℚ defined in terms of generalized Dedekind sums by using its modular property. We also prove an equidistribution property of generalized Dedekind sums.
