The iβ-periodic entire extension (strip Schwarz reflection) #
Given a function F continuous on the closed strip 0 ≤ Im z ≤ β, holomorphic
on the open strip, and with equal boundary values F(t) = F(t + iβ) on the real
axis, this file constructs a bounded entire extension H agreeing with F
on ℝ.
The extension is the iβ-periodic continuation: H z = F (z - ⌊Im z / β⌋ · iβ),
which folds every point back into the fundamental strip. It is:
- continuous everywhere - across each gluing line
Im z = kβthe boundary values match by periodicity (ContinuousOn.if); - holomorphic off the lines - on each open strip it is
Fcomposed with a holomorphic shift into the open fundamental strip; - holomorphic on the lines - by the horizontal-line removable singularity

The headline result exists_bounded_entire_extension_of_strip_periodic is exactly
the construction that Physicslib4.AQFT.stripLiouville_of_entire_extension
consumes, so it discharges the StripLiouville principle (and hence KMS
invariance) for β > 0.

Instances For
Off the gluing lines, the periodic extension is differentiable: near any
point whose fold lands strictly inside the open strip, the floor is locally
constant, so the extension is F composed with a holomorphic shift.
On a gluing line, the periodic extension is differentiable: on a ball around the point it equals a two-piece function glued across the line, which is continuous (boundary values match by periodicity) and holomorphic off the line, hence holomorphic by the removable-singularity theorem.
The periodic extension is entire.
The iβ-periodic bounded entire extension. A function continuous on the
closed strip 0 ≤ Im ≤ β, holomorphic on the open strip, bounded, and with equal
boundary values F(t) = F(t + iβ), admits a bounded entire extension agreeing
with it on the real axis.
Vanishing from zero boundary values. A function continuous and bounded on
the closed strip 0 ≤ Im z ≤ β, holomorphic on the open strip, whose boundary
values on both lines vanish, is identically zero on the strip. The periodic
extension is then a bounded entire function (its boundary values agree), hence
constant by Liouville, and the constant is its value F(0) = 0.
Uniqueness from boundary values. Two functions continuous and bounded on
the closed strip 0 ≤ Im z ≤ β, holomorphic on the open strip, that agree on
both boundary lines, agree on the whole closed strip. (Their difference has
zero boundary values, so vanishes by eq_zero_on_strip_of_zero_boundary.)
