The Schwarz--Christoffel integrand #
The derivative in the Schwarz--Christoffel formula is, up to a nonzero constant, a finite product
∏ i, (z - a i) ^ e i,
where the prevertices a i lie on the real axis and e i is the normalized turning exponent
at the corresponding polygon vertex. For an interior angle α i, measured in radians, the
usual choice is e i = α i / π - 1.
This file defines that product using the principal complex power and establishes its analytic
properties on the upper half-plane. Each difference z - a i lies in
Complex.slitPlane there, so the chosen branch is holomorphic. The integrand is nowhere zero,
its norm is the product of the expected real powers, and its logarithmic derivative is the sum
of the simple fractions e i / (z - a i).
These facts are the analytic input for constructing the Schwarz--Christoffel map as a primitive of the integrand. Nonvanishing will make that primitive locally conformal, while the real-power norm formula provides estimates away from the prevertices. Since complex powers are totalized at zero, values of this definition at prevertices do not describe its boundary singularities; those must instead be stated using punctured limits.

The Schwarz--Christoffel integrand associated to real prevertices a i and real
exponents e i.
For a polygon with interior angle α i at the vertex corresponding to a i, the classical
choice is e i = α i / π - 1. The definition itself does not impose the polygonal angle
conditions: its analytic properties hold for every finite family of real exponents. At a
prevertex, Mathlib's totalized zero-base power determines the value, which should not be
interpreted as analytic boundary data.

Instances For
The Schwarz--Christoffel integrand is the product of its principal-power factors.
With every turning exponent zero, the Schwarz--Christoffel integrand is constant one.
The Schwarz--Christoffel integrand is holomorphic on the open upper half-plane.
The Schwarz--Christoffel integrand is nowhere zero in the upper half-plane. Consequently, any primitive of it is locally conformal there.
Adding two exponent families multiplies their Schwarz--Christoffel integrands at any point off the prevertices. The hypothesis is essential because the principal complex power is additive in its exponent only away from a zero base.
The norm of a Schwarz--Christoffel integrand is the product of the corresponding real powers
of the distances to its prevertices. Both sides are totalized in the same way at a prevertex,
so no hypothesis on z is needed; the common value there is not analytic boundary data, which
has to be described by a punctured limit instead.
The logarithmic derivative of the Schwarz--Christoffel integrand is the sum of its simple fractions. Its possible poles are the real prevertices and hence lie on the boundary of the domain of holomorphy.
