Empirical observations show that turbulence exhibits a broad range of scaling exponents, characterizing how the velocity gradients diverge in the inviscid limit. These exponents are thought to be linked to singular solutions of the Euler…
The Laplace equation in the two-dimensional Euclidean plane is considered in the context of the inverse stereographic projection. The Lie algebra of the conformal group as the symmetry group of the Laplace equation can be represented solely…
We address the inverse problem of recovering a degeneracy point within the diffusion coefficient of a one-dimensional complex parabolic equation by observing the normal derivative at one point of the boundary. The strongly degenerate case…
After introducing q-analogues of the Borel and Laplace transformations, we prove that to every formal power series solution of a linear q-difference equation with rational coefficients, we may apply several q-Borel and Laplace…
We explain how a vanishing, or truncated, perturbative expansion, such as often arises in semi-classically tractable supersymmetric theories, can nevertheless be related to fluctuations about non-perturbative sectors via resurgence. We also…
Using ordinary and exponential generating functions, we explore the reversion of power series defined by $2$nd order recurrences. We express the reversions in terms of Jacobi and Thron continued fractions. We find relations with Eulerian…
We present a nonrelativistic one-particle quantum mechanics whose perturbative S-matrix exhibits a renormalon divergence that we explicitely compute. The potential of our model is the sum of the 2d Dirac $\delta$-potential -- known to…
In this work, we introduce the notion of Gevrey asymptotic expansion and we show how the classical concept of a convergent power series can be generalized to include the case in which the radius of convergence is zero. This technique can be…
One of the main issues in gravitation is the presence of singularities in the most common space-time solutions of General Relativity, as the case of black holes. A way of constructing regular solutions that remove spacelike singularities…
Let $\{a_{1}, a_{2},\ldots, a_{n},\ldots\}$ be a sequence of complex numbers which has at most polynomial growth and satisfies an extra assumption. In this paper, inspired by a recent work of Sasane, we give an explanation of the sum…
We study singularity formation in nonlinear differential equations of order $m\leqslant 2$, $y^{(m)}=A(x^{-1},y)$. We assume $A$ is analytic at $(0,0)$ and $\partial_y A(0,0)=\lambda\ne 0$ (say, $\lambda=(-1)^m$). If $m=1$ we assume…
In this paper, we explore a variety of series involving the central binomial coefficients, highlighting their structural properties and connections to other mathematical objects. Specifically, we derive new closed-form representations and…
We introduce and characterize a particularly tractable class of unital type 1 C*-algebras with bounded dimension of irreducible representations. Algebras in this class are called recursive subhomogeneous algebras, and they have an inductive…
We study the perturbative expansion of the ground state energy in the presence of an external field coupled to a conserved charge in the integrable two-dimensional O$(4)$ nonlinear sigma model. By solving Volin's algebraic equations for the…
The Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra vanishes. If we want to extend this result to Lie superalgebras, we should deal with infinite sums. We observe that a suitable method of summation, which goes back to…
The irreversible turbulent energy cascade epitomizes strongly non-equilibrium systems. At the level of single fluid particles, time irreversibility is revealed by the asymmetry of the rate of kinetic energy change, the Lagrangian power,…
I argue that the consistency of any resummation method can be established if the method follows a power counting derived from a hierarchy of scales. I.e., whether it encodes a top-down effective field theory. This resolves much confusion…
We study three special Dirichlet series, two of them alternating, related to the Riemann zeta function. These series are shown to have extensions to the entire complex plane and we find their values at the negative integers (or residues at…
Windowed recurrences are sliding window calculations where a function is applied iteratively across the window of data, and are ubiquitous throughout the natural, social, and computational sciences. In this monograph we explore the…
Modular graph functions arise in the calculation of the low-energy expansion of closed-string scattering amplitudes. For toroidal world-sheets, they are ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$-invariant functions of the torus complex structure that have…
