Abstract

Modular graph functions arise in the calculation of the low-energy expansion of closed-string scattering amplitudes. For toroidal world-sheets, they are SL(2,Z){\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})-invariant functions of the torus complex structure that have to be integrated over the moduli space of inequivalent tori. We use methods from resurgent analysis to construct the non-perturbative corrections arising when the argument of the modular graph function approaches the cusp on this moduli space. SL(2,Z){\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})-invariance will in turn strongly constrain the behaviour of the non-perturbative sector when expanded at the origin of the moduli space.
