SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the derivative of the Dirac delta function, specifically addressing the equation 21 and the assumption that \(\delta(r_2 - r_1)^2 = 0\), a concept known as renormalization. Participants clarify that the square of a delta distribution is undefined and express frustration over the lack of clarity in the presented equations. Suggestions include using LaTeX for clarity and considering holomorphic functions and complex coordinates for further analysis of the Schrödinger equation.
