Matsubara Contour 2

Tags

physicsquantum field theoryMatsubara

Deformation of contour $C$ in Matsubara contour 1 into a circle followed by taking the radius to infinity. This will enclose the poles of $(-p_0^2 + x^2)^{-1}$ scattered throughout the complex plane. Their contribution is removed again by enclosing them in clockwise contours.
