Abstract: We give the explicit solution of the Cauchy problem for the diffusion equation with a singular term:

\begin{displaymath}(\partial / \partial t ) \, u = ( \partial / \partial x )^2 \, u - ( k / x^2 ) \, u \; , \quad t > 0 \; , \quad x \in \mathbf{R}^1 \; ; \end{displaymath}

\begin{displaymath}u( 0, x) = f(x) \; , \quad x \in \mathbf{R}^1 \; , \end{displaymath}

where $k > - 1/4$. We construct the solution on the basis of a generalization of the Fourier transform. We next show that the solution is expressed by an analytic semigroup, and examine smoothness of $x \mapsto u(t, x)$ and continuity of $x \mapsto u(t, x) / x^{\beta}\left( \beta > 0 \right)$.
