File:Integration path in complex plane crossing saddle-point.png

Summary

Description
English: A modular surface (blue) with an integration path (red and green) which crosses a saddle-point. The modular surface describes . The red part of the integration path is the part which crosses the saddle-point. The green part is the "tail".
