## Abstract.

In previous work of the author, a convolution and multiplication product for the set of Associated Homogeneous Distributions (AHDs) with support in ℝ was defined and fully investigated. Here this definition is used to calculate the multiplication product of homogeneous distributions of the form (x±i0)z, for all $z\in ℂ$. Multiplication products of AHDs generally contain an arbitrary constant if the resulting degree of homogeneity is a negative integer, i.e., if it is a critical product. However, critical products of the forms ${\left(x+i0\right)}^{a}.{\left(x+i0\right)}^{b}$ and ${\left(x-i0\right)}^{a}.{\left(x-i0\right)}^{b}$, with $a+b\in {ℤ}_{-}$, are exceptionally unique. This fact combined with Sokhotskii–Plemelj expressions then leads to linear dependencies of the arbitrary constants occurring in products like ${\delta }^{\left(k\right)}.{\delta }^{\left(l\right)}$, ${\eta }^{\left(k\right)}.{\delta }^{\left(l\right)}$, ${\delta }^{\left(k\right)}.{\eta }^{\left(l\right)}$ and ${\eta }^{\left(k\right)}.{\eta }^{\left(l\right)}$ for all $k,l\in ℕ$ ($\eta \triangleq \frac{1}{\pi }{x}^{-1}$). This in turn gives a unique distribution for products like ${\delta }^{\left(k\right)}.{\eta }^{\left(l\right)}+{\eta }^{\left(k\right)}.{\delta }^{\left(l\right)}$ and ${\delta }^{\left(k\right)}.{\delta }^{\left(l\right)}-{\eta }^{\left(k\right)}.{\eta }^{\left(l\right)}$. The latter two products are of interest in quantum field theory and appear for instance in products of the partial derivatives of the zero-mass two-point Wightman distribution.
