Reason: New lemma: a finite sum and a finite product in a field are unchanged when the index family is reindexed by a permutation of the initial segment.

Statement

Let KK be a field. Let N\mathbb{N} be the set of natural numbers, let nNn\in\mathbb{N}, and let [n][n] be the initial segment determined by nn. Let a:[n]Ka:[n]\to K be a map with values written aka_{k}, and let σ:[n][n]\sigma:[n]\to[n] be a bijection. Sums and products below are the finite sums and the finite products of KK.

Then the following hold.

1. (Sums)

k=1naσ(k)=k=1nak.\sum_{k=1}^{n}a_{\sigma(k)}=\sum_{k=1}^{n}a_{k}.

2. (Products)

k=1naσ(k)=k=1nak.\prod_{k=1}^{n}a_{\sigma(k)}=\prod_{k=1}^{n}a_{k}.
