Analytic roots after a power substitution #
A monic polynomial family of degree d with analytic coefficients and simple roots on
U × (ball 0 R \ {0}) admits single-valued analytic root functions after the substitution
(w, t) ↦ (w, t ^ n), provided d ! ∣ n and the substituted disc fits inside the original disc.
Here U is open and simply connected. The root functions are pointwise distinct and give a
complete linear factorization. The degree-zero case gives the empty factorization.
The continuous and analytic splitting theorems give the single-valued root functions needed for Puiseux factorization with parameters. These functions are defined on the punctured domain only; extension across the missing hyperplane requires a separate removable-singularity argument.

A continuous monic family of degree d, separable over a punctured disc, splits into d
pointwise distinct continuous linear factors after a power substitution of exponent divisible by
d !. The parameter space can be any simply connected, locally path connected space.
A monic family with analytic coefficients and simple roots on an open simply connected
parameter domain times a punctured disc splits into pointwise distinct analytic linear factors
there after t ↦ t ^ n, for any nonzero n divisible by d !. The functions in the conclusion
are ambient functions, analytic on the punctured product; nothing is asserted at t = 0.
