Evaluation of entire power series #
For a power series f = ∑ aₙ Xⁿ over a commutative ring R and an element b of an R-algebra
A, PowerSeries.evalAt f b is the infinite sum ∑ₙ aₙ • bⁿ, with the junk value 0 when the
sum does not converge. When R is normed, A is a complete seminormed ring with
‖r • x‖ ≤ ‖r‖ ‖x‖, and f is entire, the sum converges absolutely at every b: since f is
restricted at the radius 2 ‖b‖, its terms are bounded by a constant times 2⁻ⁿ. No ultrametric
hypothesis is needed for convergence, so this evaluates entire series both at operators on
p-adic Banach spaces and in complex Banach algebras. When A is normed, evaluation at b
is a ring homomorphism on the subring of entire series (PowerSeries.IsEntire.evalAtHom).
Evaluation commutes with continuous algebra homomorphisms into Hausdorff algebras.
The same bound shows that an entire series F = ∑ Fₙ Xⁿ with coefficients in a complete normed
ring, such as a series of operators, can be evaluated at every scalar: the sum
PowerSeries.evalScalar F a = ∑ₙ aⁿ • Fₙ converges absolutely.
A consequence used for Fredholm determinants: if f(0) = 1 and f(a) = 0, then a is a unit
with inverse -∑ₙ aₙ₊₁ • aⁿ, since f(a) = 1 + a ∑ₙ aₙ₊₁ • aⁿ.
The same identity f(x) = a₀ + x ∑ₙ aₙ₊₁ • xⁿ, together with continuity of f at 0, gives an
identity principle over coefficient rings: an entire series over a complete normed commutative
ring vanishing at non-zero-divisors accumulating at 0 is zero. Over Tate scalars, where the
powers of a pseudo-uniformiser are such points, an entire series is therefore determined by its
values.

Instances For
The evaluation homomorphism at b sends an entire series f to f(b).
Evaluation commutes with powers of entire series.
Evaluation of entire series commutes with continuous coefficient homomorphisms:
(φ f)(φ a) = φ (f(a)).
Evaluated Leibniz rule at a for (X - a)ᵐ g. For entire g, the Hasse derivative of
order j of (X - a)ᵐ g at a is the Hasse derivative of order j - m of g at a when
m ≤ j, and 0 otherwise.
The value of an entire series at b is a₀ + b ∑ₙ aₙ₊₁ • bⁿ.
Zeros of entire series with constant coefficient 1 are units. If an entire series f
with f(0) = 1 vanishes at a, then a is invertible.
If an entire series f = ∑ aₙ Xⁿ with a₀ = 1 vanishes at a, then the inverse of a is
-∑ₙ aₙ₊₁ • aⁿ.
Continuity at 0. For an entire series f = ∑ aₙ Xⁿ, the value f(b) tends to
f(0) = a₀ as b tends to 0.
Identity principle for entire series over a ring. An entire series over a complete normed
commutative ring that vanishes at non-zero-divisors accumulating at 0 is zero. Over a normed
field the non-zero-divisors are the nonzero elements; over Tate scalars the powers of a
pseudo-uniformiser are non-zero-divisors tending to 0.
Entire series are determined by their values over a complete normed commutative ring in
which non-zero-divisors accumulate at 0, such as a nontrivially normed field or a ring with Tate
scalars.
For an entire series F = ∑ Fₙ Xⁿ over a normed ring, the terms aⁿ • Fₙ of its value at a
scalar a are absolutely summable.
Evaluation of entire series at scalars. For an entire series F = ∑ Fₙ Xⁿ over a complete
normed ring and any scalar a, the series ∑ aⁿ • Fₙ converges to F(a).
Evaluation at a scalar is additive on entire series over a complete normed ring.
