The following is the problem from Fetter and Walecka (problem 3.7)
If f(z) is defined to be the integration of rho(x) * (z-x)^(-1) from -infinity to +infinity. rho is in the following form
rho(x)=gamma * ( gamma^2+x^2 )^(-1).
Evaluate f(z) explicitly for Im(z)>0 and find its analytic continuation to Im(z)<0
First, I assumed gamma is real and positive and used the residue theorem, then I got
f(z)=pi * (z+i*gamma)^(-1), My question is how to find its analytic continuation to Im(z)<0.
Another question is that I found f(z) takes a different form if I assumed gamma is pure imaginary. It doesn't make sense to me.
Could you help me with these two questions? Thanks a lot.
