With convention Hf(t)=π−1PV∫f(τ)/(t−τ)dτ, the analytic function F(z)=(eiz−1)/(iz) has removable singularity at zero and decays on large upper semicircles. Its boundary real part is sint/t and imaginary part is (1−cost)/t. The upper-half-plane contour indented above t gives PV∫F(τ)/(τ−t)dτ=iπF(t). Taking imaginary parts after reversing the denominator proves the displayed transform, with value zero at t=0 by continuous extension.
