It has been recently proposed that at each infinite distance limit in the moduli space of quantum gravity a perturbative description emerges with fundamental degrees of freedom given by those infinite towers of states whose typical mass…
We develop a procedure that reorganizes the perturbative expansion in a class of quantum field theories into a stringy amplitude expressed as a sum over two-dimensional geometries. Using Schwinger parametrization and the one-to-one…

We revisit the path-integral approach to the wave function of the Universe by utilizing Lefschetz thimble analyses and resurgence theory. The traditional Euclidean path-integral of gravity has the notorious ambiguity of the direction of…
We use the recently developed massive spinor-helicity formalism [1] of Arkani- Hamed et al. to propose a new class of recursion relations for tree-level amplitudes in gauge theories. These relations are based on a combined complex…
We study the double scaling limit for unitary invariant ensembles of random matrices with non analytic potentials and find the asymptotic expansion for the entries of the corresponding Jacobi matrix. Our approach is based on the…
We examine the problem of counting bound states of BPS black holes on local Calabi-Yau threefolds which are fibrations over a Riemann surface by computing the partition function of q-deformed Yang-Mills theory on the Riemann surface. We…

We study infinite-distance limits in the moduli space of perturbative string vacua. The remarkable interplay of string dualities seems to determine a highly non-trivial dichotomy, summarized by the emergent string conjecture, by which in…
Understanding how individual learning behavior and structural dynamics interact is essential to modeling emergent phenomena in socioeconomic networks. While bounded rationality and network adaptation have been widely studied, the role of…
The twisted Eguchi-Kawai (TEK) model provides a non-perturbative definition of noncommutative Yang-Mills theory: the continuum limit is approached at large $N$ by performing suitable double scaling limits, in which non-planar contributions…
We continue our study of symmetries of a class of little string theories of A-type, which are engineered by $N$ parallel M5-branes probing a flat transverse space. Extending the analysis of the companion paper, we discuss the part of the…
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…
We present the full transseries of the strong-coupling expansion of the cusp anomalous dimension in ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang--Mills theory. This quantity admits an exact representation as a ratio of two determinants with particularly simple…
Many observables in quantum field theory can be expressed in terms of trans-series, in which one adds to the perturbative series a typically infinite sum of exponentially small corrections, due to instantons or to renormalons. Even after…
We study the spectrum of the scaling Lee-Yang model on a finite interval from two points of view: via a generalisation of the truncated conformal space approach to systems with boundaries, and via the boundary thermodynamic Bethe ansatz.…
For analytic nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations, under some non-degeneracy and integrability conditions we prove that the formal exponential series solutions (trans-series) at an irregular singularity of rank one are Borel…
We study non-perturbative effects of torus partition function of the $T\bar{T}$-deformed 2d CFTs by resurgence. The deformed partition function can be written as an infinite series of the deformation parameter $\lambda$. We develop highly…
In Calabi--Yau compactifications of the heterotic string there exist quantities which are universal in the sense that they are present in every Calabi--Yau string vacuum. It is shown that such universal characteristics provide numerical…
We revisit the Emergence Proposal in 4d ${\cal N}=2$ vector multiplet sectors that arise from type II string Calabi--Yau compactifications, with emphasis on the role of axionic fundamental strings, or EFT strings. We focus on large-volume…
