Girstmair's numerator restriction conjecture for normalized Dedekind sums
Let be the normalized Dedekind sum, and write a value in lowest terms as , where and . Girstmair's necessary conditions are that when , and, when , that
Girstmair's conjecture. For integers with and , there exist coprime integers with and if and only if these conditions hold. The conjecture describes exactly which rational numbers with prescribed denominator occur as normalized Dedekind sums; the paper verifies it for even , certain square denominators, and , but the general case remains open.
