(i) Explain why the formula
f(z)=n=−∞∑∞(z−n)21
defines a function that is analytic on the domain C\Z. [You need not give full details, but should indicate what results are used.]
Show also that f(z+1)=f(z) for every z such that f(z) is defined.
(ii) Write logz for logr+iθ whenever z=reiθ with r>0 and −π<θ⩽π. Let g be defined by the formula
g(z)=f(2πi1logz)
Prove that g is analytic on C\{0,1}.
[Hint: What would be the effect of redefining logz to be logr+iθ when z=reiθ, r>0 and 0⩽θ<2π ?]
(iii) Determine the nature of the singularity of g at z=1.
