Some elaborations regarding the Hilbert and Fourier transforms of Fermi function are presented. The main result shows that the Hilbert transform of the difference of two Fermi functions has an analytical expression in terms of the $\Psi$ (digamma) function, while its Fourier transform is expressed by mean of elementary functions. Moreover an integral involving the product of the difference of two Fermi functions with its Hilbert transform is evaluated analytically. These findings are of fundamental importance in discussing the transport properties of electronic systems.
