Integrating a vector field, not uniquely defined in which sense?

54 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to complete an exercise in vectorial calculus, integrating the following vector field in the sense finding (one of) the function it derives from by taking the gradient:

$$ \vec{v} = (\frac{y}{x^2+y^2},\frac{-x}{x^2+y^2},0) $$

Doing it in cylindrical coordinates, I get $f = - \theta $ or $ - \text{arctan}(\frac{y}{x})$

I see that this thing cannot be uniquely defined in the $(x,y)$ plane because it pickups an additive factor of $2\pi$ after a rotation when it should be invariant.

It looks like the functions needing to be treated with a branch cut (I'm thinking complex logarithm). To close this exercise I need to answer why it implies that this function cannot be defined everywhere but I'm not seeing the point they want me to raise; is it linked to what I just commented?
