Let f be an analytic Banach algebra valued function and suppose that the contour integral of the logarithmic derivative f′f-1 around a Cauchy domain D vanishes. Does it follow that f takes invertible values on all of D? For important classes of Banach algebras, the answer is positive. In general, however, it is negative. The counterexample showing this involves a (nontrivial) zero sum of logarithmic residues (that are in fact idempotents). The analysis of such zero sums leads to results about the convex cone generated by the logarithmic residues.
