In Sato's theory, the following formal delta function is defined: $\delta(\lambda,z)=\frac{1}{\lambda}\sum_{n=-\infty}^\infty(\frac{z}{\lambda})^n=\frac{1}{z}\frac{1}{1-\lambda/z}+\frac{1}{\lambda}\frac{1}{1-z/\lambda}$ Given a function $f(z)=\sum a_iz^i$, $f(\lambda)\delta(\lambda,z)=f(z)\delta(\lambda,z)$. I want to know the properties as many as possible. Or useful references are welcome to be provided. Thanks! |

The formal delta function obeys the usual properties that the Dirac delta function does, but relative to the pairing defined by the residue. For instance, $$ \mathrm{Res}_z f(z)\delta(z,w) = f(w)$$ for any formal distribution $f(z)$. This and more can be found in Kac's Vertex algebras for beginners, particularly Proposition 2.1 in §2.1. |

In addition to Kac's excellent book I thought I'd mention Vertex algebras and algebraic curves by Ed Frenkel and me, which goes a little more into formal delta functions, D-modules and the like --- see section 1.1 and chapter 19 (2nd edition) in particular. |
