Jan 19, 2021 at 16:15 comment added Jack L. @Conrad: Many thanks for your comment. I am not necessarily presuming there’s a closed-form expression for every possible continuous function $\chi$; as may be easily observed, if $\chi$ is constant on $\gamma$, then the result is simply that constant times $n(\gamma,0)$. While I am more interested in the case $\chi(\cdot):=\langle\cdot\rangle^{-2}$, I thought perhaps there might be some results involving some non-trivial hypotheses on $\chi$ and incorporating my case of interest.
Jan 19, 2021 at 16:07 comment added Conrad The general question is hopeless if $\chi$ arbitrary as you can take $1$ on an arc, $2$ on the complementary arc and smoothed out at ends and get arbitrary numbers depending on the arc (result is always positive for a circle oriented usually by parametrization)
Jan 19, 2021 at 16:03 comment added Conrad I misunderstood the question and of course you are correct and I was wrong

Jan 19, 2021 at 15:16 comment added Jack L. Ah yes, will correct appropriately. Thanks
Jan 19, 2021 at 15:13 comment added Will Sawin Should $du/u$ be $dz/z$ here?
