homework and exercises - The contraction of fermion field in 1+1-dimensional massless QED



My question comes from the textbook by Peskin & Schroeder, the integral (19.26): d2k(2π)2eik(yz)ikk2=∂̸(i4πlog(yz)2)


Question: how to derive the formula from the left hand side to the right hand side ?


If considering the identity (3.117) and set m=0, I have d2k(2π)2ikγk2eik(yz)=i∂̸(DR(yz)) here DR(yz)=d2k(2π)2ik2eik(yz) the 2-vector: kμ=(k0,k1) and owing to the massless condition:(k0)2=(k1)2. set κk1.therefore I got +dk1(2π)[12k0ei[k0(yz)0k1(yz)1]+12k0ei[k0(yz)0k1(yz)1]]=i4π 2+sin(κ(yz)0)κeiκ(yz)1dκ


But I failed to get the log-term from the above formula.


NOTE I found a related answer A four-dimensional integral in Peskin & Schroeder
