Abstract

We prove that a discrete effective divisor on the open unit disk D\mathbb{D} is the zero divisor of a holomorphic function on D\mathbb{D} with integer Taylor coefficients if and only if it is invariant under complex conjugation. The construction uses a one-parameter deformation of the Weierstrass elementary factors in which each modified factor of order nn leaves all Taylor coefficients of degree n\leq n unchanged while shifting the coefficient of degree n+1n+1 by a controlled affine amount. These modified factors act as elementary jet-correction operators: the triangular structure of the coefficient map permits an inductive rounding scheme compatible with canonical-product convergence. As a consequence, every holomorphic function on D\mathbb{D} differs from one with Gaussian-integer Taylor coefficients by multiplication by a nowhere-vanishing holomorphic factor.
