Abstract

Lambert series of the form n>0a(n)qn/(1qn)\sum_{n>0}a(n)q^n/(1-q^n) are ubiquitous in mathematical physics. In particular, 2-loop sunrise and 3-loop banana Feynman diagrams yield Lambert series with a(n)a(n) of the form χ(n)/ns\chi(n)/n^s where χ(n)\chi(n) is a Dirichlet character. Resurgence concerns the singular limit as q|q| approaches 1. In the Feynman cases we can control this limit, obtaining rapidly convergent expressions, since the Lambert series are iterated integrals of holomorphic Eisenstein series twisted by a character. We generalize this result, to include modular resurgent structures found in topological-string observables.
