Growth of finite weighted power sums #
This file formalizes the elementary power-sum lemma used in the Corvaja--Zannier passage from even-extension point-count estimates to bounds on Frobenius parameters.
For a finite set s of distinct complex numbers and nonzero weights, an
O(ρ ^ n) bound on the weighted power sum forces every member of s to
have norm at most ρ. The proof uses an isolation polynomial: applying a
polynomial that vanishes at all the other members of s expresses the chosen
geometric progression as a fixed linear combination of shifted power sums.
If a finite weighted power sum is O(ρ ^ n) and every coefficient is
nonzero, then each base occurring in the sum has norm at most ρ.
Distinctness is encoded by s being a Finset. No nonzero assumption on the
bases is needed: zero bases satisfy the conclusion automatically.
