Since the Kramers-Kroning dispersion relations relate to so many topics in signal theory and physics, a more general discussion might be appropriate.

Why not start with a general causal transfer function and use this to show the relations.

Specific examples for such a transfer function \chi such as filter, susceptibilities, etc. could be listed at the end of the article.

Personally, I would prefer stating the relations as \chi(\omega)=\frac{1}{\pi} P \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} d\omega' \frac{\chi'(\omega')}{\omega-\omega'}

May be

{\rm Im}[\chi(\omega)]=\frac{1}{\pi}~ {-}\!\!\!\!\!\!\int_{0}^{\infty} {\rm d}\Omega \frac{{\rm Re}[\chi(\Omega)]}{\omega-\Omega}

would look better? Is the current version equivalent of this?
