Write with real . The complex hyperbolic sine is . Its zero real part requires . If , the magnitude of the imaginary part would be , which cannot equal . Therefore and . All solutions are
On the Argand diagram these are two interlaced arithmetic sequences on the imaginary axis; both repeat with imaginary period .
Figure 1.
All roots lie on the imaginary axis in two families repeating every
