What are some of your favorite integrals /sci/?

Here is one of mine. Let be a finite connected graph, and let be a smooth function, compactly supported on its restriction to . We write to denote this function Cartesian coordinates.


Call a subset [/math] (R,F) \subseteq (V,E) [/math] a rooted forest if the set of edges contains no cycles, and there is exactly one vertex in for each connected component of the graph induced by , plus all singleton vertices (see pic).

Let denote the derivative of with respect to the variables for all and .

Finally, let denote a collection of complex variables, indexed by . Then:



where the sum is over all rooted forests on . Lovely isn't it?
