Functional Identity
If we perform a Wick rotation inside the functional integral, professors J. Garcia and Gerard 't Hooft showed using a functional differential equation, that
where S is the Wick-rotated classical action of the particle, J is the classical action with an extra term "x", delta (here) is the functional derivative operator and
