Hello.

Homework Statement


Basically I want to evaluate the integral as shown in this document:

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


The integral with the complex exponentials yields a Kronecker Delta.
My question is whether this Delta can be taken inside the integral over phi space?

I think so. That is to say you can simply replace p by m and forget about ##\theta##.
Check for a possible constant factor in case you want to look at orthonormality. For orthogonality you don't have to bother.
