Dirichlet Green function for a conjugated harmonic oscillator

ID: dirichlet-green-function-for-a-conjugated-harmonic-oscillator

For and on , with and , the substitution gives . Here and . The displayed Green function vanishes at the endpoints, is continuous at , and its first derivative has jump one, so . It is the usual sine Dirichlet Green function conjugated by the exponential factor. At there is a homogeneous zero mode, so the inverse kernel does not exist without a solvability condition and a normalization.
