Modulus of a complex self-power

ID: modulus-of-a-complex-self-power

For , every logarithmic value is with integer . Multiplying by and taking the real part proves the displayed formula for the modulus of each value of complex exponentiation. For nonreal , these values form a geometric progression with nonunit positive ratio . For real nonzero , changing the logarithm branch changes only the phase and leaves the modulus fixed. A fixed initial argument changes only the indexing of the set of values.
