Kubota [19] showed how the theory of Eisenstein series on the higher metaplectic covers of SL2 (which he discovered) can be used to study the analytic properties of Dirichlet series formed with n-th order Gauss sums. In this paper we will prove a functional equation for such Dirichlet series in the precise form required by the companion paper [2]. Closely related results are in Eckhardt and Pat...
