In order to characterize the complex \(\delta\) function the authors introduced following function spaces. A function \(f\) defined a.e. on \(\mathbb{R}\) is said to belong to the Hardy space \(H^p_+\), \(p>1\), if \(f\) is the boundary of an analytic function \(f_+\) in the upper half plane \((\text{Im} z >0)\), that is \[ f(x)= \lim_{\varepsilon\to 0+} f_+(x+i \varepsilon), \text{ for almost all }x\in \mathbb{R},\text{ and }\sup_{y>0} \int^\infty_{- \infty}\bigl |f_+(x+iy) \bigr|^p dx<\infty. \] Similarly one defines \(f\) to be in Hardy space \(H^p_-\), \(p>1\). Now it is shown that the complex \(\delta_z\) function is a continuous linear functional on the space \(H^p_+\) or \(H^p_-\) defined (in the notation of authors) by \[ \langle\delta_z \mid f\rangle= \int^\infty_{-\infty} dx\left[{- \text{sgn (Im} z)\over 2\pi i(x-z^*)} \right]^*f(x). \] The main results are formulated by two interesting theorems based on test functions \({\mathcal D}_+ =\theta({\mathcal S}\cap H^2_+)\) and \({\mathcal D}_- =\theta({\mathcal S}\cap H_-^2)\), where \({\mathcal S}\) is the Schwartz space of functions rapidly decreasing at infinity) and \(\theta\) is a determined map. Denoting the dual of \({\mathcal S}\) by \({\mathcal S}^x\), then \(({1\over x-x_0\pm i0})^n= \lim_{\varepsilon\to 0_+} ({1\over x-x_0\pm i\varepsilon})^n\) in \({\mathcal S}^X\). Theorem 1 provides the sums of the distributional series \(\sum^\infty_{n=0} {w^{^n} \over(x-x_0 \mp i0)^{n+1}} (x_0>0, w\in\mathbb{C},\;|w|<x_0)\) on the space \(\Delta_\pm\) (respectively) implying certain series representations for \(\delta_z (x)\) formerly used formally. Theorem 2 is concerned with the sums of the series \[ \sum^\infty_{n=0} {[V^*(x)]^n \over(x-x_0\mp i0)^{n+1}} \] on \(\Delta_\pm\) producing directly certain formulas involving \(\delta_{z_0}(x)\) useful in quantum theory (which were used formally). Here \(V(x)\) is an analytic function in certain domain. The complete results are rather massive to be presented here (some misprints are observed). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0927.00013].
