Famously, one has that the cotangent can be written as the Fourier sum $$\pi z \cot \pi z = 1 - 2z^2 \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2 -z^2}$$ demonstrating evenly spaced poles alone the $x$-axis. Similarly, the hyperbolic cotangent has poles along the imaginary axis: $$\pi z \coth \pi z = 1 + 2z^2 \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2 + z^2}$$ What about poles along rays on arbitrary roots of unity? Consider $$ f_p(z) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^p + z^p}$$ for integer $p$. This function clearly has evenly-spaced poles along rays: so, for $p=3$ the poles are on a tri-axial pattern, along the negative x-axis, and along the two rays at 60 degrees.
The question is: does this function have a common name, or related to some "obvious" function with a common name, or generally studied in some particular setting? It clearly participates in a rich set of identities involving Dirichlet characters, cyclotomic polynomials, Ramanujan-style identities, and so on. But I don't recall spotting it in any books on combinatorics.
(Conversely, how about functions with zeros along rays?)
