Session 1. Analytic Number Theory

On the distribution of the values of certain Cotangent Sums

Helmut Maier, Universität Ulm, Germany
The talk is based on the joint work with M.Rassias, ETH -- Zürich
Let \(E\) be the Estermann Zeta - function. The values of \(E(0,r/ b,0)\) for rational arguments \(r/b\) are related to certain cotangent sums appearing in recent work of S. Bettin and J.B. Conrey. We investigate the distribution of these cotangent sums for large \(b\) as \(r\) ranges over values coprime to \(b\) in a certain interval.
