Abstract
We give all possible holomorphic Eisenstein series on $\Gamma_0(p)$, of rational weights greater than $2$, and with multiplier systems the same as certain rational-weight eta-quotients at all cusps. We prove they are modular forms and give their Fourier expansions. We establish four sorts of identities that equate such series to rational-weight eta-quotients. As an application, we give series expressions of special values of the Euler Gamma function at any rational arguments. These expressions involve exponential sums of Dedekind sums.
