Abstract

For kRk\in\mathbb R, we consider a C\mathbb C-algebra Ak\mathcal A_k of holomorphic functions in the half plane Re  z>kRe\; z>k with (at most) subexponential growth on the real line to ++\infty. In the Ak\mathcal A_k-algebra of sequences of functions {α:NAk}\{\alpha:\mathbb N\rightarrow \mathcal A_k\}, we consider the Ak\mathcal A_k-subalgebra Hk\mathcal H_k consisting in those α\alpha for which there exists a continuous map M:{Re  z>k}[0,+)M:\{Re\; z>k\}\rightarrow [0,+\infty) such that α(n)(z)M(z)nk|\alpha(n)(z)|\leq M(z)n^k for all Re  z>k,n1Re\; z>k,n\geq 1, and limx+eaxM(x)=0\lim_{x\rightarrow +\infty}e^{-ax}M(x)=0, for all a>0a>0. Given LL a sequence of holomorphic functions on Re  z>kRe\; z>k which satisfies certain conditions, we prove that the map αFL(α)\alpha\mapsto F_L(\alpha), where FL(α):=n=1+α(n)(z)L(n)(z)F_L(\alpha):=\sum_{n=1}^{+\infty}\alpha(n)(z)L(n)(z), is an injective morphism of Ak\mathcal A_k-modules (or Ak\mathcal A_k-algebras). Consequently, if nαj(n)(z)Cn\mapsto \alpha_j(n)(z)\in\mathbb C, 1jr1\leq j\leq r, are linearly (algebraically) independent over C\mathbb C, for zz in a nondiscrete subset of Re  z>kRe\; z>k, then Fα1,,FαrF_{\alpha_1},\ldots,F_{\alpha_r} are linearly (algebraically) independent over the quotient field of Ak\mathcal A_k.
