Nov 27, 2013 at 17:59 comment added Emil Jeřábek I don’t know if it’s of any use, but if $f(z)$ denotes the polynomial $(1-x_1z)^{m_1}\cdots(1-x_nz)^{m_n}$, then the first $n-1$ equations are equivalent to the condition that the logarithmic derivative $f'(z)/f(z)$ has a root of order at least $n-1$ at the origin (this follows easily enough from the Cauchy integral formula).

Nov 27, 2013 at 16:40 comment added Lev Borisov Do you by any chance want $x_1^{m_1}...x_n^{m_n}=1$?
Nov 27, 2013 at 15:45 comment added Julian Rosen For $m_1=\ldots=m_n=1$, $(\zeta^{\sigma(1)},\ldots,\zeta^{\sigma(n)})$ is a solution only when $n$ is odd. For $n$ even, $(\zeta)(\zeta^2)\ldots(\zeta^n)=-1$.
