The Northcott property for special values of Dedekind zeta functions and more general motivic L-functions was defined by Pazuki and Pengo. We investigate this property for any complex evaluation of Dedekind zeta functions. The results are more delicate and subtle than what was proven for the function field case in previous work of Li and the authors, since they include some surprising behavior in the neighborhood of the trivial zeros. The techniques include a mixture of analytic and computer-assisted arguments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Given a number field, the Euler–Kronecker constant is defined as the constant term in the Laurent series expansion of the logarithmic derivative of the Dedekind zeta function at the point s = 1 . In the case of real and imaginary quadratic fields, a closed-form expression for the Euler–Kronecker constants can be obtained with the help of suitable Kronecker limit formulas. In this article, we avoid the use of Kronecker limit formulas and derive an explicit series representation of these constants with the help of an asymptotic series representation of the coefficients appearing in the Laurent series expansion of the Dedekind zeta function at s = 1 . As a result, the expressions obtained do not require evaluation of the special functions appearing in the Kronecker limit formulas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, using the arithmetic of Hurwitz zeta functions and Gauss sums, we investigate the arithmetic nature of ζ K (2 k + 1) ζ K + (2 k + 1) , where K is any totally imaginary abelian extension with maximal totally real subfield K + and k ≥ 1 is an integer. As a consequence, we derive an elementary proof of the elegant result of Murty and Pathak about irrationality of Dedekind zeta values associated to imaginary quadratic fields at odd integers. This alternate line of action allows us to link these questions to a question of Chowla and Milnor, resulting in some new results about Dedekind zeta values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let F/k be a finite abelian extension of number fields with k imaginary quadratic. Let OF be the ring of integers of F and n ⩾ 2 a rational integer. We construct a submodule in the higher odd-degree algebraic K-groups of OF using corresponding Gross's special elements. We show that this submodule is of finite index and prove that this index can be computed using the higher "twisted" class number of F, which is the cardinal of the finite algebraic K-group K2n−2(OF).

For a number field K , and integral ideals I and J in its number ring O K , Nowak studied the asymptotic behavior of the average of Ramanujan sums C J (I) over both ideals I and J . In this article, we extend this investigation by establishing asymptotic formulas for the second moment of averages of Ramanujan sums over quadratic and cubic number fields, thereby generalizing previous works of Chen, Kumchev, Robles, and Roy on moments of averages of Ramanujan sums over rationals. Additionally, using a special property of certain integral domains, we obtain second moment results for Ramanujan sums over some other number fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We study the class number one and class number two problems for real quadratic fields Q (9 m 2 + 4 m) , where m is an odd integer. We show that for m ≡ 1 (mod 3) there is only one such field with class number one and only one such field with class number two. Moreover, we also evaluate some generalized Dedekind sums.

We obtain unconditional, effective number-field analogues of the three Mertens' theorems, all with explicit constants and valid for x ≥ 2 . Our error terms are explicitly bounded in terms of the degree and discriminant of the number field. To this end, we provide unconditional bounds, with explicit constants, for the residue of the corresponding Dedekind zeta function at s = 1 . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For any number field, we define Dedekind harmonic numbers with respect to this number field. First, we show that they are not integers except finitely many of them. Then, we present a uniform and an explicit version of this result for quadratic number fields. Moreover, by assuming the Riemann hypothesis for Dedekind zeta functions, we prove that the difference of two Dedekind harmonic numbers are not integers after a while if we have enough terms, and we prove the non-integrality of Dedekind harmonic numbers for quadratic number fields in another uniform way together with an asymptotic result.
