Abstract

We propose a novel approach of uncovering Stokes phenomenon exhibited by the holomorphic blocks of CP1\mathbb{CP}^1 model by considering it as a specific decoupling limit of SQED2_2 model. This approach involves using a Z3\mathbb{Z}_3 symmetry that leaves the supersymmetric parameter space of SQED2_2 model invariant to transform a pair of SQED2_2 holomorphic blocks to get two new pairs of blocks. The original pair obtained by solving the line operator identities of the SQED2_2 model and the two new transformed pairs turn out to be related by Stokes-like matrices. These three pairs of holomorphic blocks can be reduced to the known triplet of CP1\mathbb{CP}^1 blocks in a particular decoupling limit where two of the chiral multiplets in the SQED2_2 model are made infinitely massive. This reduction then correctly reproduces the Stokes regions and matrices of the CP1\mathbb{CP}^1 blocks. Along the way, we find six pairs of SQED2_2 holomorphic blocks in total, which lead to six Stokes-like regions covering uniquely the full parameter space of the SQED2_2 model.
