How to solve this Complex Integral using poles?












0












$begingroup$


I want to find the green's function of a free particle, which depends of the integral:
$$
I = frac{1}{4pi ²ir} int^{+infty}_{-infty} frac{ke^{ikr}}{E-frac{hbar²k²}{2m}+ieta} dk,.
$$



Then, using the cauchy principal value we remove the $eta$...The result is as follows:



$$
g=frac{e^{ifrac{sqrt{2mE}}{hbar}r}}{4pi r}
$$

    Are you familiar with contour integration?

    I know that I need to use something like a contour integral + integral from -R to R with R-> Infinity.

I'll give you some hints:




  1. Get your integral in more combined form:
    $$ I(r) = int frac{k e^{i k r}}{A - k^2} $$
    here $A$ is constant. Forget about everything else till the end.

  2. Think of the function $F(r)$, s. t.
    $$ F'(r) = I(r) $$

  3. Draw some contours and see which one is better for $F(r)$. If nothing comes to mind, try literature, I would recommend: Russell L. Herman, An introduction to mathematical physics via oscillations

  4. Now return to your preintegral constant and substitute A.

    4. Now return to your preintegral constant and substitute A.
