Abstract

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.
