For the geometric surface delta distribution on the radius-$a$ sphere in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$, $⟨u_a,\varphi ⟩=a^2{\int }_{S^2}\varphi (a\omega )d\sigma (\omega )$. Angular integration gives the Fourier transform ${\hat{u}}_a(\xi )=4\pi a\sin (a|\xi |)/|\xi |$, with removable value $4\pi a^2$ at zero. The convolution of distributions with a compactly supported factor gives the regular distributionThis density has total mass $16{\pi }^2{a}^2{b}^2$. Values on endpoint spheres do not affect the distribution. When $a=b$, the inverse-distance singularity is locally integrable in three dimensions and is not an additional point mass. The annulus expresses the triangle inequality for the sum of two vectors of fixed lengths.
