The pinned source supplies geom_sum_eq for a ratio different from one.
The same revision’s Mathlib/Analysis/SpecialFunctions/Complex/Log.lean
supplies Complex.exp_eq_one_iff, which describes the integer multiples
of two pi i. Mathlib/Analysis/SpecialFunctions/Pow/Real.lean supplies
Complex.norm_natCast_cpow_of_pos and Real.rpow_right_inj.
The repository combines these classical identities for a prime base and a
finite exponent range. It reuses the existing local exponential lattice
in EulerProduct.finite_euler_denominator_eq_zero_iff, identifies the
excluded integer multiples of the range length, and then proves
nonvanishing for the finite product. The cited upstream file does not
define the repository’s finite divisor partition function.
