I'm defining branch cut functions, and I'm using $\arg(z)$ as a building block. So I just spent an hour at the whiteboard assuming that $\arg(z)$ goes from $0$ to $2\pi$, and then I implement the code,...

My goal is to be able to compute the residues of something like $z^{\alpha} R(z)$ where $0 < \alpha < 1$, $R(z)$ is rational, and the exponential can be chosen with any branch. I found a way to ...

If my logarithms have a branch cut on $(0,\infty)$ then the dilogs constructed from these have a branch cut on $(-\infty,1)$. Is there a safe way to implement this in Mathematica? I tried with ...
