Does $\int_0^{2\pi} e^{i\theta(t)} (\phi(t))^n dt=0$ $\forall \; n\in\mathbb{N}_0$ imply $\phi$ periodic?

PROBLEM. Let $\theta(t)$ and $\phi(t)$ be two real analytic non-constant functions $[0,2\pi]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. I am trying to prove the following claim If the integral $$ \int_0^{2\pi} e^{i\...

Orthogonality relation in $L^2$ implying periodicity

Let $\theta(t)$ and $\phi(t)$ be two real $C^1$ functions $[0,2\pi]\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. Let us assume $\theta$ has the properties $$ \int_0^{2\pi} e^{i\theta(t)} dt=0. $$ Geometrically this means ...
