Let hhh, h′h'h′ and kkk be natural numbers such that hh′≡1(modk)h h' \equiv 1 \pmod{k}hh′≡1(modk). Here, for an integer aaa and a natural number mmm, the Dedekind sum is defined by

s(a,m)=∑r=0m−1( ⁣ ⁣(rm) ⁣ ⁣) ( ⁣ ⁣(arm) ⁣ ⁣),s(a,m) = \sum_{r=0}^{m-1} \big(\!\!\big(\tfrac{r}{m}\big)\!\!\big)\,\big(\!\!\big(\tfrac{a r}{m}\big)\!\!\big),s(a,m)=r=0∑m−1​((mr​))((mar​)),

a rational number, where the sawtooth function is given on a rational xxx by ((x))=0((x)) = 0((x))=0 if the fractional part of xxx vanishes and ((x))={x}−12((x)) = \{x\} - \tfrac12((x))={x}−21​ otherwise, with {x}\{x\}{x} the fractional part; for m=0m = 0m=0 the sum is empty, hence 000. The conclusion is the equality of rationals s(h′,k)=s(h,k)s(h',k) = s(h,k)s(h′,k)=s(h,k), the arguments hhh and h′h'h′ being taken as integers via the canonical map from N\mathbb{N}N. Thus the Dedekind sum is unchanged when the first argument is replaced by an inverse of it modulo the second; no positivity, coprimality or size hypotheses beyond the stated congruence are imposed.

This is the classical invariance s(h′,k)=s(h,k)s(h',k) = s(h,k)s(h′,k)=s(h,k) for hh′≡1(modk)h h' \equiv 1 \pmod khh′≡1(modk), one of the elementary arithmetic properties of Dedekind sums alongside periodicity in hhh and the reciprocity law. It is used in the evaluation of a Rademacher Φ\PhiΦ-type level witness, in rademacher_phi_level_witness_mod_oneTwenty_eq_sixtyOne.
