What the article says around this equation
An inertial worldline’s Wightman function is the flat-space, two-point function of the free vacuum, whose Fourier transform against has support only for <0 — this is nothing more exotic than vacuum stability, the same textbook fact that says an unaccelerated atom in its ground state, coupled to the electromagnetic vacuum, never spontaneously jumps up in energy [ 6 ] . Consequently = 0 identically for every >0 , not approximately, not in some limit — exactly zero. The normalization integral \,d' is therefore also exactly zero, and is…

An inertial worldline’s Wightman function is the flat-space, two-point function of the free vacuum, whose Fourier transform against has support only for <0 — this is nothing more exotic than vacuum stability, the same textbook fact that says an unaccelerated atom in its ground state, coupled to the electromagnetic vacuum, never spontaneously jumps up in energy [ 6 ] . Consequently = 0 identically for every >0 , not approximately, not in some limit — exactly zero. The normalization integral \,d' is therefore also exactly zero, and is 0/0 : undefined.
