A generalized Ramanujan sum over a residually finite Dedekind domain
摘要
This paper extends the Cohen-Ramanujan sum originally defined by Cohen to arbitrary residually finite Dedekind domains. We derive further properties that can be viewed as generalizations of those provided by Zheng [16] and Zheng-Chen-Hong [27]. In particular, we illustrate that the set of the Cohen-Ramanujan sums can be used as a basis for Fourier expansions just as the classical Ramanujan sums can.
