A system of nonlinear differential equations $x^{1+\gamma}\frac{dY}{dx}= F_0(x)+A(x)Y+F(x,Y)$ is considered. We study more precisely the meaning of asymptotic expansion of transformations and solutions than preceding pioneering works, by…
One of the main applications of resurgence in physics is the decoding of nonperturbative effects through large order relations. These relations connect perturbative asymptotic expansions of observables to expansions around other saddle…
We give a complete classification of analytic equivalence of germs of parametric families of systems of complex linear differential equations unfolding a generic resonant singularity of Poincare rank 1 in dimension $n = 2$ whose leading…
The computation of observables in general interacting theories, be them quantum mechanical, field, gauge or string theories, is a non-trivial problem which in many cases can only be addressed by resorting to perturbative methods. In most…
We give an explicit demonstration that the derivative expansion of the QED effective action is a divergent but Borel summable asymptotic series, for a particular inhomogeneous background magnetic field. A duality transformation B\to iE…
A class of Schr\"odinger-type second-order linear differential equations with a large parameter $u$ is considered. Analytic solutions of this type of equations can be described via (divergent) formal series in descending powers of $u$.…
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…
In these notes we give an overview of different topics in resurgence theory from a physics point of view, but with particular mathematical flavour. After a short review of the standard Borel method for the resummation of asymptotic series,…
A new summation method is introduced to convert a relatively wide family of infinite sums and local expansions into integrals. The integral representations yield global information such as analytic continuability, position of singularities,…
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…
We introduce a new rigorous method, based on Borel summability and asymptotic constants of motion generalizing \cite{invent} and \cite{ode1}, to analyze singular behavior of nonlinear ODEs in a neighborhood of infinity and provide global…
It is shown that so called fundamental solutions the semiclassical expansions of which have been established earlier to be Borel summable to the solutions themselves appear also to be the unique solutions to the 1D Schr\"odinger equation…
The power corrections in the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) of QCD correlators can be viewed mathematically as an illustration of the transseries concept, which allows to recover a function from its asymptotic divergent expansion.…
We consider meromorphic transforms given by meromorphic kernels and study their asymptotic expansions under a certain rescaling. Under decay assumptions we establish the full asymptotic expansion in the rescaling parameter of these…
We consider a class of second order ordinary differential equations describing one-dimensional systems with a quasi-periodic analytic forcing term and in the presence of damping. As a physical application one can think of a…
We prove that formal WKB solutions of Schr\"odinger equations on Riemann surfaces are resurgent. Specifically, they are Borel summable in almost all directions and their Borel transforms admit endless analytic continuation away from a…
We present a new algorithm for computing hyperexponential solutions of ordinary linear differential equations with polynomial coefficients. The algorithm relies on interpreting formal series solutions at the singular points as analytic…
In a wide range of quantum theoretical settings -- from quantum mechanics to quantum field theory, from gauge theory to string theory -- singularities in the complex Borel plane, usually associated to instantons or renormalons, render…
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…
We extend the technique of asymptotic series matching to exponential asymptotics expansions (transseries) and show that the extension provides a method of finding singularities of solutions of nonlinear differential equations, using…
