Let u∈Cu \in \mathbb{C}u∈C be transcendental, that is, u∉Q‾u \notin \overline{\mathbb{Q}}u∈/Q​ (the algebraic numbers); spans and linear independence are over Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​. Let s∈Q‾s \in \overline{\mathbb{Q}}s∈Q​ with s2=uuˉs^2 = u\bar us2=uuˉ, and put v=u/sv = u/sv=u/s. Let k≥0k \geq 0k≥0, let cj∈Cc_j \in \mathbb{C}cj​∈C for j∈Zj \in \mathbb{Z}j∈Z be arbitrary, put z=∑j=−kkcjvjz = \sum_{j=-k}^{k} c_jv^jz=∑j=−kk​cj​vj and W=span(1,u,uˉ,z,zˉ)W = \mathrm{span}(1, u, \bar u, z, \bar z)W=span(1,u,uˉ,z,zˉ). Let α,β∈Q‾\alpha, \beta \in \overline{\mathbb{Q}}α,β∈Q​, not both zero, with αu2+βu3∈W\alpha u^2 + \beta u^3 \in Wαu2+βu3∈W (Theorem E's class (P)). Then there are P′,Q′,S1,S2∈Q‾[X]P', Q', S_1, S_2 \in \overline{\mathbb{Q}}[X]P′,Q′,S1​,S2​∈Q​[X] with P′(u)=u2P'(u) = u^2P′(u)=u2, Q′(u)=1Q'(u) = 1Q′(u)=1, S1(u)=βˉs6+αˉs4uS_1(u) = \bar\beta s^6 + \bar\alpha s^4uS1​(u)=βˉ​s6+αˉs4u and S2(u)=αu+βu2S_2(u) = \alpha u + \beta u^2S2​(u)=αu+βu2, such that P′,Q′P', Q'P′,Q′ are coprime, max⁡(deg⁡P′,deg⁡Q′)=2\max(\deg P', \deg Q') = 2max(degP′,degQ′)=2, deg⁡S1,deg⁡S2≤2\deg S_1, \deg S_2 \leq 2degS1​,degS2​≤2, and W=span(1,u,u−1,Q′(u)S1(u)/(uP′(u)),P′(u)S2(u)/(uQ′(u)))W = \mathrm{span}(1, u, u^{-1}, Q'(u)S_1(u)/(uP'(u)), P'(u)S_2(u)/(uQ'(u)))W=span(1,u,u−1,Q′(u)S1​(u)/(uP′(u)),P′(u)S2​(u)/(uQ′(u))).

That is, WWW has Theorem F's shape (D2a) with P′=X2P' = X^2P′=X2 and Q′=1Q' = 1Q′=1 (uuu being transcendental, the values at uuu determine the polynomials), and W=span(1,u,u−1,wˉ,w)W = \mathrm{span}(1, u, u^{-1}, \bar w, w)W=span(1,u,u−1,wˉ,w) for w=αu2+βu3w = \alpha u^2 + \beta u^3w=αu2+βu3. No dimension hypothesis is made, and the cjc_jcj​ are not assumed algebraic, as the proof does not need it.

Proof. As u≠0u \neq 0u=0 and s2=uuˉs^2 = u\bar us2=uuˉ, s≠0s \neq 0s=0 and uˉ=s2/u\bar u = s^2/uuˉ=s2/u. Write w=αu2+βu3w = \alpha u^2 + \beta u^3w=αu2+βu3; then wˉ=(βˉs6+αˉs4u)/u3\bar w = (\bar\beta s^6 + \bar\alpha s^4u)/u^3wˉ=(βˉ​s6+αˉs4u)/u3. Take P′=X2P' = X^2P′=X2 and Q′=1Q' = 1Q′=1 (coprime, of maximal degree 222), S1=βˉs6+αˉs4XS_1 = \bar\beta s^6 + \bar\alpha s^4XS1​=βˉ​s6+αˉs4X and S2=αX+βX2S_2 = \alpha X + \beta X^2S2​=αX+βX2, with coefficients in Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​ because complex conjugation maps Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​ to itself; then Q′(u)S1(u)/(uP′(u))=wˉQ'(u)S_1(u)/(uP'(u)) = \bar wQ′(u)S1​(u)/(uP′(u))=wˉ and P′(u)S2(u)/(uQ′(u))=wP'(u)S_2(u)/(uQ'(u)) = wP′(u)S2​(u)/(uQ′(u))=w. (1) The five vectors 1,u,u−1,wˉ,w1, u, u^{-1}, \bar w, w1,u,u−1,wˉ,w lie in WWW: u−1=s−2uˉu^{-1} = s^{-2}\bar uu−1=s−2uˉ; w∈Ww \in Ww∈W by hypothesis; and WWW is stable under complex conjugation, since conjugation permutes its generators 1,u,uˉ,z,zˉ1, u, \bar u, z, \bar z1,u,uˉ,z,zˉ and maps Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​ to itself, so wˉ∈W\bar w \in Wwˉ∈W. (2) They are linearly independent: multiplying a relation x0+x1u+x2u−1+x3wˉ+x4w=0x_0 + x_1u + x_2u^{-1} + x_3\bar w + x_4w = 0x0​+x1​u+x2​u−1+x3​wˉ+x4​w=0 by u3u^3u3 gives a polynomial in uuu of degree at most 666 with coefficients x3βˉs6,x3αˉs4,x2,x0,x1,x4α,x4βx_3\bar\beta s^6, x_3\bar\alpha s^4, x_2, x_0, x_1, x_4\alpha, x_4\betax3​βˉ​s6,x3​αˉs4,x2​,x0​,x1​,x4​α,x4​β, all algebraic; as uuu is transcendental they vanish, and (α,β)≠(0,0)(\alpha, \beta) \neq (0, 0)(α,β)=(0,0), s≠0s \neq 0s=0 give x3=x4=0x_3 = x_4 = 0x3​=x4​=0. (3) WWW is spanned by five vectors, so dim⁡W≤5\dim W \leq 5dimW≤5, and the inclusion of the five-dimensional span of (1) in WWW is an equality. Nothing about zzz is used beyond the hull, so the cjc_jcj​ need not be algebraic.

Novelty. Not found in the sources read; routine. It writes Theorem E's class (P) in the coordinates of Theorem F: every hull of class (P) has shape (D2a), with the pencil (X2,1)(X^2, 1)(X2,1). The configuration of class (P) is in print: Diaz (2007, Théorème 7(1)), already in Diaz (2004, Théorème 2).
