Common integrals in quantum field theory are all variations and generalizations of Gaussian integrals to the complex plane and to multiple dimensions. [1]: 13–15 Other integrals can be approximated by versions of the Gaussian integral. Fourier integrals are also considered.

The Gaussian integral, also known as the Euler–Poisson integral, is the integral of the Gaussian function = over the entire real line. Named after the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss , the integral is ∫ − ∞ ∞ e − x 2 d x = π . {\displaystyle \int _{ …

Gaussian Integrals† 1. The MainResults The most common Gaussian integral encountered in practice is Z +∞ −∞ dxe−ax2 = √ π √ a, (1) where a is real and a > 0. The integral does not exist (it diverges) if a ≤ 0. Another common form is when the exponent is purely imaginary. In this case we have Z +∞ −∞ dxeicx2 = eisπ/4 √ ...

2021年5月28日 · We multiply our integral I by the same expression with integration variable $y$. We then introduce polar coordinates (r, $\phi$ ). This way we obtain a very simple integral, which can be evaluated without difficulty.

2.2 Complex Gaussian integrals We next compute the complex Gaussian integral J(B) = Z d2Nzexp 0 @ 1 2 XN i;j=1 z iB ijz j 1 A= Z d2Nzexp 1 2 zyBz where Bis a positive hermitian matrix, and d2z= d<zd=z. This can be calculated analogously. Let Ube a unitary matrix that diagonalizes B: UyBU= diag(b 1; ;b N) (b i>0) We then introduce new complex ...

2019年11月29日 · I am trying to learn how to compute a Gaussian integral over complex variables. I am struggling to understand under what conditions the integral exist. I have not found such identities on wikipedia, hence my question on this website.

physics. We recall here some algebraic properties of gaussian integrals and gaussian expectation values. Since most algebraic properties generalize to complex gaussian integrals, we consider also below this more general situation. The gaussian integral Z(A) = Z dnxexp 0 @ Xn i;j=1 1 2xiAijxj 1 A; (1:4)

2017年11月11日 · First of all, one need to prove the following key integral formula: I = ∫ + ∞ − ∞dxeiax2 = √iπ a (a> 0) Usually one can pick up an analytic function f(z) = eiaz2 and then performs the complex integral along the closed contour showed above.
