Retarded unit-frequency oscillator response
ID: retarded-unit-frequency-oscillator-response
The retarded Green function for is , with Fourier transform in the convention. Both poles lie below the real axis. Convolution with a force gives the solution with no incoming homogeneous oscillation. A source that is nonzero at negative times can have a nonzero response before a chosen zero of time without violating causality.
