Exercise 11.2

Prove the converse to Proposition 11.1.1.

Answers

Proof. If N s = j = 1 e β j s i = 1 d α i s , where α i , β j are complex numbers, then

s = 1 N s u s s = j = 1 e ( s = 1 ( β j u ) s s ) i = 1 d ( s = 1 ( α i u ) s s ) = j = 1 e ln ( 1 β j u ) + i = 1 d ln ( 1 α i u ) .

Here u is a variable, and both members are formal polynomials in [ [ u ] ] , so we don’t study convergence. Nevertheless, the left member has a radius of convergence at least q n , and the right member min i , j ( 1 | β j | , 1 | α i | ) .

Therefore,

Z f ( u ) = exp ( s = 1 N s u s s ) = j = 1 e ( 1 β j u ) 1 i = 1 d ( 1 α i u ) = i = 1 d ( 1 α i u ) j = 1 e ( 1 β j u )

is a rational fraction. □
