Use the horizontal Fourier convention . For each nonzero , the Poisson equation becomes
Decay away from the sheet and continuity at it give . Its derivative jump is , hence the off-plane razor-thin Poisson kernel is
The spatially uniform mode has a different vertical solution and an arbitrary additive potential reference; it is not obtained by substituting into this decaying-mode formula.
