Abstract

In this note we study the resurgent structure of sl(2,C)sl(2,\mathbb{C}) Chern-Simons state integral models on knot complements S3\41,S3\52S^3\backslash\mathbf{4}_1,S^3\backslash\mathbf{5}_2 with generic discrete level k1k\geq 1 and with small boundary holonomy deformation. The coefficients of the saddle point expansions are in the trace field of the knot extended by the holonomy parameter. Despite increasing complication of the asymptotic series as the level kk increases, the resurgent structure of the asymptotic series is universal: both the distribution of Borel plane singularities and the associated Stokes constants are independent of the level kk.
