In this subsection, $E$ is a $\mathbb{C}$-vector space of dimension $n \geq 1$. We say that an endomorphism $u$ of $E$ is a permutation endomorphism if there exists a basis $(e_1, \ldots, e_n)$ of $E$ and a permutation $\sigma \in \mathfrak{S}_n$ such that $u(e_j) = e_{\sigma(j)}$ for all $j \in \llbracket 1, n \rrbracket$.
Let $u$ be a diagonalizable endomorphism of $E$. Show that $u$ is a permutation endomorphism if and only if there exist natural integers $c_1, \ldots, c_n$ such that, for all $k \in \mathbb{N}$,
$$\operatorname{Tr}\left(u^k\right) = \sum_{\substack{\ell=1 \\ \ell \mid k}}^{n} \ell c_\ell$$
(We sum over the values of $\ell$ dividing $k$ and belonging to $\llbracket 1, n \rrbracket$.)
