Each of these integrals is very well-behaved: convergent asymptotic series
exist for their value about the critical point $\sigma$, for example. One must know the integer weights $n_\sigma$.
+\section{Gradient descent dynamics}

For a holomorphic Hamiltonian $H$, dynamics are defined by gradient descent on
$\operatorname{Re}H$. In hermitian geometry, the gradient is given by raising
an index of the conjugate differential, or
