complex analysis - Analytic continuation commuting with series



Suppose f1,f2,... are entire functions, and there is an open subset UC such that the series F(z)=n=1fn(z) converges normally on U. Also suppose that F can be analytically continued to an entire function.



I have a situation where all fn vanish at some point z0, but unfortunately z0U. Can we still say that F(z0)=0?



I would guess not, since it feels like bending the rules of analytic continuation in a way that shouldn't be allowed. But I didn't think of a counterexample.


Answer



The answer is NO.




Example. Let U be the unit disk, and
fn(z)=(1z)zn.
Then F(z)=fn(z)=z, and while fn(1)=0, we have that F(1)=1.
