This file intentionally contains no global axioms: the deep factorization theorem itself is handled elsewhere; here we only record consequences and clean lemmas that downstream files use.
For genus 0, the Weierstrass elementary factor is just (1 - w).
Exponentials of linear functions #
Basic.lean proves that a zero‑free entire function of finite order is an exponential of a
polynomial; here we package the order‑≤1 case as an exponential of a linear function.
Exponential constraint from symmetry
If f satisfies f(z) = f(c - z) for some c, and f = exp(az + b) * P(z) where P is a symmetric product (P(z) = P(c - z)), then exp(a * c) = 1.
This means a * c ∈ 2πiℤ. For real a and real c (as in the ξ function with c = 1), this forces a * c = 0 since the only real element of 2πiℤ is 0.
For ξ, we have ξ(s) = ξ(1-s) with c = 1. If a is real, then a = 0.
Reference: This is a consequence of comparing f(z) = f(c-z) with the factored form.
Linear coefficient vanishes for real symmetry
Corollary: If additionally a and c are real, then exp(ac) = 1 implies ac = 0. The only real number w with exp(w) = 1 is w = 0.
