Quadratic transformations with slit-plane transformed nodes #
Both regularized transformations hold for all complex parameters whenever the
unsquared variables x,y have positive real parts. Their squares, product, and
squared arithmetic mean need only lie in the slit plane; they need not have
positive real parts. This extends the earlier Lean formulations that required
right-half-plane transformed nodes. The node domain agrees with Carlson 1977,
§§6.9–6.10; it is not an enlargement of the published domain.
The proof uses joint node holomorphy and agreement near (1,1). It does not
claim every component of the algebraic preimage of the slit plane: branches
on larger domains still require separate analysis. The finer equal-parameter
normalization and its L-function transformations are not extended by this file.
Squaring a right-half-plane number can leave that half-plane but not the slit plane.
First quadratic transformation, with no restriction on the real parts of the transformed mean squares and no Dirichlet-parameter exclusions.
Second quadratic transformation on the whole positive-real-part square-root domain. The squared input nodes and both transformed nodes may have negative real parts.
