For the intended complex unit circle, put and , with . The complete family of semicharacters of a complex lattice isTo obtain this, the identity at zero gives ; on each coordinate axis the alternating form vanishes, so and , also for negative integers. Combining the axes gives the factor . Conversely, for , , the quotient of the proposed values is , which equals . Hence every displayed formula is a semicharacter of a complex lattice and none are missing.
