Thin-disk potential-density inversion ($\tilde{\Sigma }=-k\tilde{\Phi }/(2\pi G)$)

For an isolated razor-thin disk, define the two-dimensional Fourier transform by $\tilde{g}(\mathbf{k})=\int e^{-i\mathbf{k}\cdot \mathbf{x}}g(\mathbf{x})d^{2}x$. At $k>0$, the razor-thin disk Poisson kernel gives the displayed inversion. Since the transform of $1/|\mathbf{x}|$ is $2\pi /k$, inversion also gives $\Sigma =(4{\pi }^{2}G{)}^{-1}(1/|\mathbf{x}|)\ast {\Delta }_2\Phi$. The forward relation is $\Phi =-G(1/|\mathbf{x}|)\ast \Sigma$. An additive potential constant is irrelevant; a uniform infinite sheet and scale-free divergent potentials require separate zero-mode or potential-difference treatment rather than an arbitrary decaying boundary condition.
