We study three dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric abelian gauge theories with various matter contents living on a squashed sphere. In particular we focus on two problems: firstly we perform a Picard-Lefschetz decomposition of the…
Localization methods have recently led to a plethora of new exact results in supersymmetric gauge theories, as certain observables may be computed in terms of matrix integrals. These can then be evaluated by making use of standard large N…
We study resurgence in the context of the partition function of 2-dimensional $SU(N)$ and $U(N)$ Yang-Mills theory on a surface of genus $h$. After discussing the properties of the transseries in the undeformed theory, we add a term to the…
In the framework of chiral perturbation theory we demonstrate the equivalence of the supersymmetric and the replica methods in the symmetry breaking classes of Dyson indices \beta=1 and \beta=4. Schwinger-Dyson equations are used to derive…
The so-called quantum Cheshire cat is a phenomenon in which an object, identified with a "cat", is dissociated from a property of the object, identified with the "grin" of the cat. We propose a thought experiment, similar to this…
We explore a one parameter $\zeta$-deformation of the quantum-mechanical Sine-Gordon and Double-Well potentials which we call the Double Sine-Gordon (DSG) and the Tilted Double Well (TDW), respectively. In these systems, for positive…
We study a certain class of supersymmetric (SUSY) observables in 3d $\mathcal{N}=2$ SUSY Chern-Simons (CS) matter theories and investigate how their exact results are related to the perturbative series with respect to coupling constants…
The quantum Cheshire cat is an effect demonstrated within the framework of weak measurement aided with post-selection scenario where the property (say, grin) of a quantum particle (the cat) can be found in a spatially separated location…
In general, perturbative expansions of observables in powers of the coupling constant in quantum field theories are asymptotic series. In many cases it is possible to apply resummation techniques to assign a unique finite value to an…
We generalise the reconstruction theorem of Stern, Sazdjian, and Fuchs based on the dispersion relations to the case of the (2 -> 2) scattering of all the pseudoscalar octet mesons (pi, K, eta). We formulate it in a general way and include…
This article reviews our view on how chiral symmetry, its pattern of breaking and restoration under extreme conditions manifest themselves in the nucleon, nuclei, nuclear matter and dense hadronic matter. Topics treated are nucleon…
We study the $SU(2)$ Principal Chiral Model (PCM) in the presence of an integrable $\eta$-deformation. We put the theory on $\mathbb{R}\times S^1$ with twisted boundary conditions and then reduce the circle to obtain an effective quantum…
We study resurgence properties of partition function of SU(2) Chern-Simons theory (WRT invariant) on closed three-manifolds. We check explicitly that in various examples Borel transforms of asymptotic expansions posses expected analytic…
We consider the $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM theory with gauge group $Sp(N)$ and the $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theory consisting of four hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation and one hypermultiplet in the rank-two…
We renormalize models with scalar chiral superfields with an odd superpotential to several orders in perturbation theory. These extensions of the cubic Wess-Zumino model are renormalizable in spacetime dimensions which are rational. When…
We generalize chiral perturbation theory with spinless matter fields in the fundamental representation of ${\rm SU}(N)$ to curved spacetime in the presence of an external gravitational field. This work is motivated by recent interest in…
In this work we illustrate the resurgent structure of the $\lambda$-deformation; a two-dimensional integrable quantum field theory that has an RG flow with an $SU(N)_k$ Wess-Zumino-Witten conformal fixed point in the UV. To do so we use…
We elaborate on the resurgence analysis on the $T\overline{T}$-deformed 2d conformal field theory (CFT). Writing the deformed partition function as an infinite series in the deformation parameter $\lambda$, we develop efficient analytical…
In this work, we analyze perturbative expansions of the quantum metric tensor (QMT) in anharmonic oscillators, focusing on quartic, sextic, and $d$-dimensional models. Using high-order perturbation theory, we show that the divergent QMT…
Perturbative expansions in many physical systems yield 'only' asymptotic series which are not even Borel resummable. Interestingly, the corresponding ambiguities point to nonperturbative physics. We numerically verify this renormalon…
