The exterior resolvent Cauchy kernel #
The scalar Cauchy kernel vanishes outside a closed convex carrier. Combining that fact with the two-parameter resolvent identity evaluates the nested operator kernel
(2 * pi * I)⁻¹ ∮ (sigma - z)⁻¹ R_A(z) dz = R_A(sigma).
This is the inner-contour calculation needed to identify the scalar companion functional calculus with the original conjugate-polynomial auxiliary contour.
The two-parameter resolvent identity in the form adapted to the nested Cauchy kernel.
A fixed vector can be moved through a scalar-weighted contour integral.
Integrating the nested exterior Cauchy kernel against a resolvent contour returns the resolvent at the exterior point, with the unnormalized contour mass factor.
Normalized operator-valued Cauchy reproduction for an exterior resolvent point of a smooth convex carrier.
Fubini's theorem for two contour integrals, with the exact product integrability hypothesis on the derivative-weighted kernel.
For two nested smooth Jordan domains, the derivative-weighted scalar-companion/resolvent kernel is integrable on the parameter square.
If one smooth Jordan domain compactly contains another, applying the inner auxiliary calculus to the outer scalar companion reproduces the outer conjugate-polynomial auxiliary contour.
