Helper lemma for completing the square calculation. Shows that -π/δ² * (t + Iδ²ξ)² + π/δ² * (-1) * (δ²)² * ξ² = -π/δ² * (t + Iδ²ξ)² - πδ²ξ²
Complete the square in the exponent appearing in Gaussian integrals.
This is the algebraic identity
-π/δ² * t² - 2π I ξ t = -π/δ² (t + I δ² ξ)² - π δ² ξ²
over the complex numbers.
Complex contour shift for Gaussian integrals. For a Gaussian function, shifting the integration contour by a purely imaginary constant doesn't change the integral value. This is a consequence of Cauchy's theorem for entire functions with sufficient decay.
Shifted Gaussian integral formula. The integral of exp(-π/δ²(t + Iδ²ξ)²) over ℝ equals δ. This represents a Gaussian shifted by a pure imaginary amount.
The Fourier transform of a Gaussian with real exponential form. This variant uses Real.exp with coercion to complex numbers.
Explicit formula for the Fourier transform of a normalized Gaussian. The Fourier transform of a Gaussian is another Gaussian with reciprocal width.
