Hi

 

I want to write the functional Z of J Z = exp(Int(Int(J(x)*Delta(x-y)*J(y), x), y))with Delta(x) = Int(I*exp(-I*k*x)*(1/(k^2-m^2)), k) in terms of the fourier transform of J: J(x) = Int(J(p)*exp(-I*p*x), p).

Actually I'm in Minkowski space and all the integrals should be over 4 dimensions, x,y,k,p should all be four-vectors, but I wanted to keep things short. (The only way I have found to express a 4D integral is using Physics-Intc with the singleparameters of the four vector. Is there a more convenient way to get d^4x?) But still in 1D I cannot solve it.

To find the solution, an exponential of only one integral, is actually pretty easy, since there are integrals over e. g. exp(-I*x*(p-k)) deliver a delta distribution, but I cannot reproduce this in Maple since he doesn't perform the integral over x.

I have found that I can/have to use the command inttrans-fourier to gain the delta distribution, but when I try to use it for the problem mentioned above I run into all kinds of problems. Not to mention that I cannot manage to perform a fourier transformation in 4D.

Does anybody know how to solve this problem? Thanks!
