►Note that the integral in (1.18.66) is not singular if approached separately from above, or below, the real axis: in fact analytic continuation from the upper half of the complex plane, across the cut, and onto higher Riemann Sheets can access complex poles with singularities at discrete energies corresponding to quantum resonances, or decaying quantum states with lifetimes proportional to .
For this latter see Simon (1973), and Reinhardt (1982); wherein advantage is taken of the fact that although branch points are actual singularities of an analytic function, the location of the branch cuts are often at our disposal, as they are not singularities of the function, but simply arbitrary lines to keep a function single valued, and thus only singularities of a specific representation of that analytic function.

►The three singular points in Riemann’s differential equation (15.11.1) lead to an interesting Riemann sheet structure.
By considering, as a group, all analytic transformations of a basis of solutions under analytic continuation around all paths on the Riemann sheet, we obtain the monodromy group.
These monodromy groups are finite iff the solutions of Riemann’s differential equation are all algebraic.
