Exponential bounds for infinite products in normed rings #
For f with summable norms, the infinite product ∏' i, (1 + f i) in a normed commutative ring
has norm at most exp (∑' i, ‖f i‖). Each finite partial product is bounded by
∏ (1 + ‖f i‖) ≤ exp (∑ ‖f i‖), and the bound passes to the limit. This is the estimate used to
bound theta products and Siegel functions on the upper half-plane by elementary functions of
|q|. The same argument, from Mathlib's Finset.norm_prod_one_add_sub_one_le, bounds the distance
‖∏' i, (1 + f i) - 1‖ by exp (∑' i, ‖f i‖) - 1, which controls such a product near the identity.
In a normed commutative ring, ‖∏' i, (1 + f i)‖ ≤ exp (∑' i, ‖f i‖) whenever the norms
‖f i‖ are summable.
In a normed commutative ring, ‖∏' i, (1 + f i) - 1‖ ≤ exp (∑' i, ‖f i‖) - 1 whenever the
norms ‖f i‖ are summable.
