Abstract: Let $b(n):ninN$ be the sequence of coefficients in the Taylor expansion of a rational function $R(X)inQ(X)$ and suppose that b(n) is a perfect $d^{mth}$ power for all large n. A conjecture of Pisot states that one can choose a $d^{mth}$ root a(n) of b(n) such that $suma(n)X^n$ is also a rational function. Actually, this is the fundamental case of an analogous statement formulated for fields more general than $Q$. A number of papers have been devoted to various special cases. In this note we shall completely settle the general case.
