We consider partial theta series associated with periodic sequences of coefficients, of the form $\Theta(\tau) := \sum_{n>0} n^\nu f(n) e^{i\pi n^2\tau/M}$, with $\nu$ non-negative integer and an $M$-periodic function $f : \mathbb{Z}…
The theory of resurgence uniquely associates a factorially divergent formal power series with a collection of exponentially small non-perturbative corrections paired with a set of complex numbers known as Stokes constants. When the Borel…
The paper is concerned with the Kontsevich-Zagier formal power series $$ f(q)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (1-q)... (1-q^n) $$ and its analytic properties. To begin with, we give an explicit formula for the Borel transform of the associated formal…
In this thesis we explore the physics of renormalons in integrable models under the framework of resurgence. In the first part, we review some background on resurgence, integrability and renormalons, including a discussion of large N…
Some years ago, it was conjectured by the first author that the Chern-Simons perturbation theory of a 3-manifold at the trivial flat connection is a resurgent power series. We describe completely the resurgent structure of the above series…
The asymptotic expansion of quantum knot invariants in complex Chern-Simons theory gives rise to factorially divergent formal power series. We conjecture that these series are resurgent functions whose Stokes automorphism is given by a pair…
Using special polynomials introduced by Hikami and the second author in their study of torus knots, we construct classes of $q$-hypergeometric series lying in the Habiro ring. These give rise to new families of quantum modular forms, and…
We prove conjectures of Garoufalidis-Gu-Mari\~no that perturbative series associated with the hyperbolic knots $4_1$ and $5_2$ are resurgent and Borel summable. In the process, we give an algorithm that can be used to explicitly compute the…
An important non-perturbative effect in quantum physics is the energy gap of superconductors, which is exponentially small in the coupling constant. A natural question is whether this effect can be incorporated in the theory of resurgence.…
Given a holomorphic germ at the origin of C with a simple parabolic fixed point, the Fatou coordinates have a common asymptotic expansion whose formal Borel transform is resurgent. We show how to use Ecalle's alien operators to study the…
We give explicit criteria that imply the resurgence of a self-radical ideal in a regular ring is strictly smaller than its codimension, which in turn implies that the stable version of Harbourne's conjecture holds for such ideals. This…
We review \'Ecalle's formalism of minors, natural-majors and real-majors, and provide explicit formulas in the Borel plane that show the resurgence of the exponential of the Stirling series. We also discuss its Stokes phenomena in the…
Habiro lifted the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariant of an integer homology 3-sphere (a complex-valued function on the set of complex roots of unity) to an element of the Habiro ring. We lift the colored Jones polynomial of a knot, with…
It is known that the fundamental group homomorphism $\pi_1(T^2) \to \pi_1(S^3\setminus K)$ induced by the inclusion of the boundary torus into the complement of a knot $K$ in $S^3$ is a complete knot invariant. Many classical invariants of…
The twisted torus knots K(p, q; r, s) are obtained by performing a sequence of s full twists on r adjacent strands of (p, q)-torus knots. Morimoto asked whether all twisted torus knots with essential tori in the exterior fit into one of two…
This text is about the mathematical use of certain divergent power series. The first part is an introduction to 1-summability. The definitions rely on the formal Borel transform and the Laplace transform along an arbitrary direction of the…
We study some properties and perspectives of the Hurwitz series ring $H_R[[t]]$, for a commutative ring with identity $R$. Specifically, we provide a closed form for the invertible elements by means of the complete ordinary Bell…
The goal of this article is twofold. First, we find a natural home for the double affine Hecke algebras (DAHA) in the physics of BPS states. Second, we introduce new invariants of torus knots and links called "hyperpolynomials" that address…
Our aim is to prove that two formal power series of importance to quantum topology are Gevrey. These series are the Kashaev invariant of a knot (reformulated by Huynh and the second author) and the Gromov norm of the LMO of an integral…
The set of isotopy classes of nontrivial torus knots $T(p,q)$ in $S^3$ is in bijection with the set of coprime integer pairs $(p,q)$ satisfying $|p|>q\geq 2$. We verify the AJ conjecture for the connected sums $T(p,q)\# T(a,b)$ when $p$ and…
