Given g(k) = N/(k^2 + a^2) where N, a are parameters

and
inf
/\
|
f(x) = (1/((2*pi)^0.5))*| g(k)exp(ikx) dk
|
\/
-inf

i.e. f(x) <= F.T. => g(k)

what is f(x)?

We get as far as

I(k) = (N/((2*pi)^0.5)) . ((exp(ikx).arctan(x/a))/a)

f(x) = I(inf) - I(-inf);

and we cannot understand the significance.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
