SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on obtaining the Fourier transform of the product of Green functions, specifically G_{el}(k+q,\tau-\tau1) * G_{el}(k,\tau1). The variables involved include phonon momentum (q) and electron momentum (k), with the condition that τ > τ1. The convolution theorem is highlighted as a key tool for solving this problem, indicating that the Fourier transform of a product of functions can be expressed as a convolution in the frequency domain.
