Rigidity of symmetric holomorphic functions on infinite-dimensional sequence spaces
Abstract
We study holomorphic functions on permutation-invariant subsets of an infinite-dimensional sequence space that are invariant under all finite permutations of coordinates. Working on domains modeled on the space $\czero$ of null sequences, we show that permutation symmetry forces the first differential to vanish along every constant tail: the coordinate derivatives agree there and an averaging argument annihilates their common value. This yields rigidity---constancy---on domains of constant sequences, and more generally on any $\cc$-chain-connected domain on which the differential vanishes on the finitely supported directions. The method has a sharp boundary: a precise obstruction prevents the elementary argument from reaching the finitely many exceptional coordinates of a non-constant point, so unconditional rigidity on general eventually-constant domains remains open. In the other direction, an explicit example---any Banach limit on $\ell^\infty$---shows that the chain-connectedness and boundedness hypotheses cannot be dropped: mere topological connectedness admits non-constant symmetric entire functions. We record the vector-valued corollary and discuss the motivating application to holomorphic cross-sections of the zero-set map, isolating the lifting problem that remains open.
