About the function $\prod_{k \in \mathbb{N}}(1-\frac{x^3}{k^3})$

If one starts with the Weierstrass factorisation $$ \Gamma(z) = \frac{e^{-\gamma z}}{z} \prod_{k=1}^\infty \left(1 + \frac{z}{k}\right)^{-1} e^{z/k}$$ of the Gamma function, applied to $z = -x, -\omeg …

Proofs of the valence formula that avoid tricky contours?

I am recording here a "regularized" version of the standard contour integral argument that avoids detours (though it still needs the standard contour traversing the standard fundamental domain). I fi …

Lower bounding $|1+z+\cdots + z^{n-1}|$ when $z\approx 1$

Just a note that Carlo's nice inequality $$ \left|\left(1+\frac{it}{n}\right)^n - 1\right| \geq |e^{it} - 1| \label{1}\tag{1}$$ in fact is valid for all real $t$ and natural numbers $n \geq 1$. For $ …

Can we just use the linear term of exponential sums to sum divergent series

This summation method gives answers that are close to, but do not always match, traditional divergent summation methods. For instance, for constants $a,b>0$, the divergent sum $$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty (a …

What is the best known upper bound for $\frac{1}{\zeta'(\rho)}$ assuming the SZC but not the...

We have an exact formula \begin{align*} \frac{1}{\zeta'(\rho)} &= \lim_{s \to \rho} \frac{s-\rho}{\zeta(s)} \\ &= \lim_{s \to \rho} \frac{(s-\rho) (s-1) \Gamma(1+s/2) \pi^{-s/2}}{\xi(s)} \\ &= (\rho- …

Is this infinite product entire?

This function is (on the real line, at least) the product of $$ \exp( \mu^2 \sum_{i=1}^\infty |z_i|^2 - 2 \mu \Re(\sum_{i=1}^\infty z_i)) \quad (1)$$ and the Hadamard type product $$ \prod_{i=1}^\inft …

Local optimum for Sendov's conjecture

This follows from the work of Miller, Michael J., On Sendov’s conjecture for roots near the unit circle, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 175, No. 2, 632-639 (1993). ZBL0782.30007. and independently Vâjâitu, Vior …

Algebraic independence of shifts of the Riemann zeta function

Hmm, it was more difficult than I expected to leverage universality to establish the claim. But one can proceed by probabilistic reasoning instead, basically exploiting the phase transition in the li …

Incoherence of Fubini therorem with integral on Fourier series

The problem is not with Fubini's theorem (or more precisely, Tonelli's theorem), which is valid for any non-negative function measurable in the product sigma algebra. The error instead lies in the cl …

Analytical predicate for integers over complex numbers

[Reposted as an answer, as requested. -T.] While this can be done for any given $f$ (as indicated by Angelo's answer), it can't be done in a way which is stable with respect to perturbations of $f$ ( …

The operator $(\partial_x+i\partial_y)(\partial_x-i\partial_y)^{-1}$

This is (the adjoint of) the Beurling transform (also known as the Beurling-Ahlfors transform). It's also a Calderon-Zygmund operator and a pseudodifferential operator of order 0, so all the usual th …

Pedagogical question concerning $\Gamma(z)$

I guess it depends on whether the objective is (a) to introduce and motivate the Gamma function, and only the Gamma function, in as efficient a manner as possible, or (b) to present some useful mathem …

Ways to prove the fundamental theorem of algebra

This is not a serious answer, but one can "prove" the fundamental theorem of algebra by applying the spectral theorem to the matrix $$ A := \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 & \ldots & 0 \\\ 0 & 0 & 1 & \ldo …

Why do functions in complex analysis behave so well? (as opposed to functions in real analysis)

Well, real-valued analytic functions are just as rigid as their complex-valued counterparts. The true question is why complex smooth (or complex differentiable) functions are automatically complex an …
