+ A schematic picture of the complex phase space for the circular $p$-spin
+ model and its standard integration contour. (Top, all): For real variables,
+ the model is a circle, and its analytic continuation is a kind of complex
+ hyperbola, here shown schematically in three dimensions. (Bottom, all):
+ Since the real manifold (the circle) is one-dimensional, the complex
+ manifold has one complex dimension, here parameterized by the angle
+ $\theta$ on the circle. (Left): The integration contour over the real phase
+ space of the circular model. (Center): Complex analysis implies that the
+ contour can be freely deformed without changing the value of the integral.
+ (Right): A funny deformation of the contour in which pieces have been
+ pinched off to infinity. So long as no poles have been crossed, even this
+ is legal.

What contour properties are desirable? Consider the two main motivations cited
in the introduction for performing analytic continuation in the first place: we
want our partition function to be well-defined, e.g., for the phase space
