So I am aware of a thread at Propagator of a scalar in position space but it does not answer my question, which is more about poles in position space.
Starting from
DF(x1−x2)=∫d4k(2π)4ik2−m2+iϵeik⋅x
I have been able to show that
DF(x1−x2)=−i16π2∫∞0dss2exp[−iX24s]exp[−i(m2−iϵ)s]
which by change of variable can be written as
DF(x1−x2)=−i16π2[i(m2−iϵ)]∫∞0dtt2exp[−t−[−(m2−iϵ)X2]4t].
Using the integral representation of K1(z) (the modified Bessel function of the second kind) I can see that
DF(x1−x2)=(m2−iϵ)16π24√−(m2−iϵ)X2K1(√−(m2−iϵ)X2).
But I know that the correct answer is
DF(x1−x2)=−i4π21√−X2+iϵK1(im√−X2+iϵ).
What bothers me is how √−(m2−iϵ)X2 is equal to √im(−X2+iϵ), because according to me
√−(m2−iϵ)X2)=√−m2(1−iϵ)X2=im√X2−iϵ
What's the error here?
