Closed Form of the Real Portion of the Product of Exponentials












3












$begingroup$


I am wondering if it is possible to express an equation in closed form. I currently have:



$f(n) = prod_{m=2}^{n-1} e^frac{pi i n}{m}$



Where $i$ is the $sqrt{-1}$, which I know it commonly represents but due to the finite product I figured I would add this note for clarity.



Context: I am trying to work towards a solution for Simplify Product of sines, yet so far I have only arrived here.



Some options I have been considering to try and find a closed form include cases such as I only actually care when $n$ is an odd number so discarding even cases is fine if that simplifies it. I am also fine with having the series start a $m=1$ instead of $m=2$ if that somehow simplifies the answer. The other potential saving grace is that I may only care about the real portion of the answer and not the imaginary portion if that simplifies things.



Sorry I am a computer scientist not a mathematician so please let me know if I should adjust the title or the wording of the question for clarity. Any leads or help of any form would be appreciated as I am currently lost.

    Please give more context. Providing context not only assures that this is not simply copied from a homework assignment, but also allows answers to be better directed at where the problem lies and to be within the proper scope. Please avoid "I have no clue" questions. Defining keywords and trying a simpler, similar problem often helps.

I'm not in school and this is not homework, I am just a computer scientist who likes to dabble in some of my free time.

$$begin{align}
f(n)=&prod_{m=2}^{n-1}expfrac{ipi n}{m}\
&=expleft[sum_{m=2}^{n-1}frac{ipi n}{m}right]\
&=expleft[ipi nsum_{m=2}^{n-1}frac{1}{m}right]\
end{align}$$

Recalling the definition of the harmonic numbers:
$$H_n=sum_{m=1}^nfrac1m$$
We have that
$$f(n)=expleft[ipi n(H_{n-1}-1)right]$$
Then using $e^{itheta}=costheta+isintheta$,
$$f(n)=cosleft[pi n(H_{n-1}-1)right]+isinleft[pi n(H_{n-1}-1)right]$$
So
$$text{Re}f(n)=cosleft[pi n(H_{n-1}-1)right]$$

&=(-1)^ne^{pi inH_{n-1}}\[9pt]

$$

where $H_n$ is the $n^text{th}$ Harmonic Number.
$$
H_nsimlog(n)+gamma+frac1{2n}-frac1{12n^2}+frac1{120n^4}-frac1{252n^6}+frac1{240n^8}-frac1{132n^{10}}tag2

and $gamma$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant.

      Why is $expleft[ipi n(H_{n-1}-1)right]=exp(ipi n)exp(H_{n-1}-1)$?

      I think it is still not correct: $expleft[ipi n(H_{n-1}-1)right]=exp(i pi n H_{n-1})exp(-i pi n)=exp(i pi n H_{n-1})(-1)^n$
