I am currently following this course http://www.few.vu.nl/~sdn249/modularforms16/ from the University of Utrecht, and I am trying to solve problem 5.(a) from the 6th Homework Sheet.



Let $chi$ be a primitive Dirichlet character modulo $N$, and let $zeta$ be a $N$-th root of unity in $mathbfC$. I am asked to show that
$$sum_j=0^N-1chi(j)fracx+zeta^jx-zeta^j=frac2Ntau(overlinechi)(x^N-1)sum_m=0^N-1overlinechi(m)x^minmathbfC[[x]].$$
As a hint, it says "compute the residues".



I am guessing it's because my Complex Analysis skills are quite rusty at this point, but I really don't see how to start proving this. Any ideas?

          The LHS is
          $$F(x)=sum_j=0^N-1chi(j)frac2zeta^jx-zeta^j$$
          so equals $g(x)/(x^n-1)$ where $g$ is a polynomial of degree $le nN-1$.
          This polynomial will be characterised by
          $$2chi(j)zeta^j=lim_xto0frac(x-zeta^j)f(x)x^N-1
          =fraczeta f(zeta^j)N.$$
          Putting $zeta^j$ into $f(x)=sumoverlinechi(m)x^m$
          will give you something that's basically a Gauss sum.
