comment Is $0^0=1$ postulate independent of all other axioms of complex numbers?
@Brian M. Scott no, it is not true.

You wrote: "For example, if $x_n \rightarrow 0, x_n \neq 0$, then $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}0^{x_n}=0$, since each term in the sequence is $0$." - This is NOT true. Actually, this limit does not exist.

@Mark Bennet is it definition or proof? The answer claims there are proofs.

you say "if you define it in terms of repeated products, you get 0^0=1" I suppose "you get" means "you can derive it"?

@MarkBennet the answer says "There are various proofs which prove either case." and also "It is most definitely not an axiom.". So I want to see the proofs that the answer claims to exist.

that empty product is 1 is an axiom or provable?

@Carl Mummert oh I see I confused it with another limit, $\lim x^x$, in that case you always get 1 at zero unless you are approaching zero by a spiral.

so $0^0=1$ is an independent axiom BOTH for natural exponentiation and for complex exponentiation?

@Navin if you do not switch the logarithm branch how can you get something other than 1 in that limit? It seems to me that to get non-1 result you have to switch the logarithm branches on fly in the process of approaching 0.

Are not natural numbers a subset of complex numbers? Can $0^0=1$ be independently postulated for complex numbers as an axiom?

Well if there are proofs that prove either of the contradicting cases, then the set of axioms is inconsistent. -1

Well I see but this does not answer the question directly.
