For finite ω there are three modifications of this formula: (a) both terms are multiplied by (Formula presented); (b) the energy integration variable is shifted, so that &εtilde;+ℏω replaces ε in the Fermi functions [for example, the symmetric term has &εtilde;=0, i.e., ((Formula presented) (E-ℏω/2)-(Formula presented) (E+ℏω/2)]/ℏω replaces -(Formula presented)(E)); (c) an additional term, equal to the principal part of -(Formula presented) ∫(d&εtilde;/π)[tcos(&εtilde;/ℏ)/&εtilde;]|P[(Formula presented) [E-(&εtilde;+ℏω)/2]-(Formula presented) [E +(&εtilde;+ℏω)/2]|P]/(&εtilde;

As long as the whole volume of the sample is integrated over, including possible edge states, there is no need to invoke additional non-Fermi-surface terms [cf., e.g., P. Streda, J. Phys. C 15, L717 (1982)].
