Physical meaning of the Jacobian in relation to Dirac delta function
We can handle easily integrals where the vector variable of integration, let $\:\mathbf{u}\:$, is the argument of the $\:\delta-$function, for example
\begin{align}
\iiint\d …

Why does it follow that the Dirac delta function is a scalar "because determinant of the Lor...
So we want to prove that the expression $\,\delta^4\left[\boldsymbol{x-x}\left(\tau\right)\right]\,$ is a Lorentz invariant scalar, that is
\begin{align}
& \delta^4\left[\boldsymbol{x'}\boldsymbol{- …

Derivative of delta function
The Dirac $\;\delta\;$ function is even. This is more clear looking it as limit of proper functions.
While its 1rst derivative is an odd function.

How to evaluate the coordinate transformation of Dirac delta function?
Of course we can evaluate the given integral without transforming the Dirac $\delta-$functions since :
\begin{equation}
\int\limits_{\boldsymbol{-\infty}}^{\boldsymbol{+\infty}}\!\!\delta\left(x_{_{\r …

Greiner's Green's function for diffusion
Let a real function $\;f(x)\;$ of the real variable $\;x\in\mathbb{R}\;$ for which
\begin{align}
f(x)\boldsymbol{=}0 \quad & \text{for any} \quad x\boldsymbol{\ne} x_{0} \quad \textbf{and}

The gradient of the d'Alembertian Green's function
We need frequently to differentiate expressions of Dirac $\delta$-function when the argument of the latter is a function $f\left(z\right)$ of the variable $z$ with respect to which we want to differen …

Why is the propagator the Green's function for Schrodinger equation?
Hint : Check if this "modified" Schrodinger equation is satisfied by the "modified" propagator

Normalization of eigenfunction to Dirac-delta function
For a function $f(x)$ the Fourier transform is defined as:
\begin{equation}
\overset{\boldsymbol{\sim}}{f}\left(k\right)=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}\int\limits_{\boldsymbol{-}\infty}^{\boldsymbol{+}\infty} …

Divergence of $\frac{ \hat {\bf r}}{r^2} \equiv \frac{{\bf r}}{r^3}$, what is the 'paradox'?
You must use the Dirac $\:\delta-$function and its properties.
The point charge $\:q\:$ being at rest at $\:\mathbf{r}_{0}\:$ we have
\begin{equation}
\mathbf{E}\left(\mathbf{r},t\right)\boldsymbol{= …
