Decoherence in many-body quantum systems can give rise to intrinsically mixed-state phases and phase transitions beyond the pure-state paradigm. Here we study the $(2+1)$D transverse-field Ising model subject to a strongly…
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 study a spectral problem associated to the quantization of a spectral curve arising in local mirror symmetry. The perturbative WKB quantization condition is determined by the quantum periods, or equivalently by the refined topological…
The holomorphic anomaly equations describe B-model closed topological strings in Calabi-Yau geometries. Having been used to construct perturbative expansions, it was recently shown that they can also be extended past perturbation theory by…
We explore higher-dimensional generalizations of the Runge-Kutta-Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin method for integrating coupled systems of first-order ordinary differential equations with highly oscillatory solutions. Such methods could improve…
The observation of light super-partners from a supersymmetric extension to the Standard Model is an intensely sought-after experimental outcome, providing an explanation for the stabilization of the electroweak scale and indicating the…
In this work, we study the resurgence program in holomorphic quantum mechanics. As a specific problem, we investigate the resurgence in the quartic anharmonic oscillator within holomorphic quantum mechanics, using the Bargmann…
We generalize the theory of resolving a mixture of two closely spaced spontaneous emission lifetimes to include pure dephasing contributions to decoherence, leading to the resurgence of Rayleigh's Curse at small lifetime separations.…
Using the exact WKB analysis of the higher-order differential equations, we analyze the asymmetry in dynamical particle production of a complex scalar field. The solution requires the Stokes phenomena of the fourth-order differential…
Ekpyrotic instantons describe the emergence of classical contracting universes out of the no-boundary quantum state. However, up to now these instantons ended in a big crunch singularity. We remedy this by adding a higher-derivative term,…
We investigate one-loop renormalization group evolutions of extended sectors of Yukawa type couplings. It is shown that Landau Poles which usually provide necessary low energy upper bounds that saturate quickly with increasing initial value…
We study, by means of MHD simulations, the onset and evolution of fast reconnection via the "ideal" tearing mode within a collapsing current sheet at high Lundquist numbers ($S\gg10^4$). We first confirm that as the collapse proceeds, fast…
An important question in the derivation of the acceleration radiation, which also arises in Hawking's derivation of black hole radiance, is the need to invoke trans-Planckian physics for the quantum field that originates the created quanta.…
This work develops a new method to calculate non-perturbative corrections in one-dimensional Quantum Mechanics, based on trans-series solutions to the refined holomorphic anomaly equations of topological string theory. The method can be…
We investigate the feasibility of models of inflation with a large Gauss-Bonnet coupling at late times, which have been shown to modify and prevent the end of inflation. Despite the potential of Gauss-Bonnet models in predicting favourable…
We study in detail (p)reheating after multi-field inflation models with a particular focus on N-flation. We consider a variety of different couplings between the inflatons and the matter sector, including both quartic and trilinear…
We study the statistics of extinction and blowup times in well-mixed systems of stochastically reacting particles. We focus on the short-time tail, $T \to 0$, of the extinction- or blowup-time distribution $\mathcal{P}_m(T)$, where $m$ is…
Certain quasi-exactly solvable systems exhibit an energy reflection property that relates the energy levels of a potential or of a pair of potentials. We investigate two sister potentials and show the existence of this energy reflection…
In this work, we investigate the preheating mechanism after inflation in general scalar-tensor theories of gravity. In the present scenario, we consider two-field scenario and then derive the potential of exponential and hyperbolic tangent…
To give more credence to the M-theoretic Emergence Proposal it is important to show that also classical kinetic terms in a low energy effective action arise as a quantum effect from integrating out light towers of states. We show that for…
