Abstract: We study the problem of diffraction by a right-angled no-contrast penetrable wedge by means of a two-complex-variable Wiener-Hopf approach. Specifically, the analyticity properties of the unknown (spectral) functions of the two-complex-variable Wiener-Hopf equation are studied. We show that these spectral functions can be analytically continued onto a two-complex dimensional manifold, and unveil their singularities in $mathbb{C}^2$. To do so, integral representation formulae for the spectral functions are given and thoroughly used. It is shown that the novel concept of additive crossing holds for the penetrable wedge diffraction problem and that we can reformulate the physical diffraction problem as a functional problem using this concept.
