Abstract
We will obtain generating functions of even Dedekind symbols with polynomial reciprocity laws. The generating functions are expressed in terms of Kronecker’s double series. We also establish reciprocity laws satisfied by these generating functions. As an application, we demonstrate new Eisenstein series identities which involve the derivatives of the first and second order.
