Multi-instantons in large N Matrix Quantum Mechanics

Abstract

We calculate the multi-instanton corrections to the ground state energy in large NN Matrix Quantum Mechanics. We find that they can be obtained, through a non-perturbative difference equation, from the multi-instanton series in conventional Quantum Mechanics, as determined by the exact WKB method. We test our results by verifying that the one-instanton correction controls the large order behavior of the 1/N1/N expansion in the quartic potential and in the c=1c=1 string.
