Nonmonic Puiseux branches and pole removal #
A polynomial family with analytic coefficients, fixed degree and nonzero discriminant on a
punctured product splits after a power substitution into distinct analytic linear factors.
If its leading coefficient is y ^ a times a nowhere-zero analytic function on the full product,
multiplication of every substituted root by t ^ (n * a) gives an analytic extension across
t = 0. Degree drops and root collisions on that hyperplane are allowed.
The construction uses integral normalization, whose coefficients remain analytic through a
vanishing leading coefficient. Apply the monic punctured splitting theorem to this family,
divide its roots by the original leading coefficient off the hyperplane, and apply
exists_analyticOnNhd_pow_mul_of_isRoot to extend the scaled branches. The monic construction
is exists_analyticOnNhd_eq_prod_X_sub_C_powerSubstitution, and the analytic coefficient
normalization is TauCeti.exists_analytic_monic_normalization.
No root branches or analytic splitting are assumed. The discriminant need only be nonzero off
the hyperplane; in particular it may be a power of the parameter times a unit. No condition on
the constant coefficient is needed for construction or pole removal. A condition on that
coefficient is needed to extract nonvanishing Laurent units from the extended branches.

A nonmonic analytic family of fixed degree with separable fibers splits on a punctured product after a power substitution divisible by the factorial of its degree. The resulting branches are distinct and give a complete factorization with the original leading coefficient. No behavior at the puncture is assumed or asserted.
Construct nonmonic Puiseux branches with removable poles. Suppose the coefficients of
F through degree d are analytic on the full product, its degree is d and its discriminant
is nonzero off y = 0, and its degree-d coefficient is y ^ a * u there, with u analytic and
nowhere zero on the full product. For any positive power substitution divisible by d!, on a
suitably resized disc there are d distinct analytic roots giving a complete factorization.
Each t ^ (n * a) * r i extends analytically to the full product. The extended functions may
vanish or coincide at t = 0; the original fibers there may have smaller degree or be zero.
Degree zero is included.
