We show how the renormalons emerge from the renormalization group equation with a priori no reference to any Feynman diagrams. The proof is rather given by recasting the renormalization group equation as a resurgent equation studied in the…

We consider partial theta series associated with periodic sequences of coefficients, of the form $\Theta(\tau) := \sum_{n>0} n^\nu f(n) e^{i\pi n^2\tau/M}$, with $\nu$ non-negative integer and an $M$-periodic function $f : \mathbb{Z}…

We give a complete description of the boundary behaviour of the Poisson kernel and the harmonic Bergman kernel of a bounded domain with smooth boundary, which in some sense is an analogue of the similar description for the usual Bergman…

Semi-algebraic priors are ubiquitous in signal processing and machine learning. Prevalent examples include a) linear models where the signal lies in a low-dimensional subspace; b) sparse models where the signal can be represented by only a…

We perform an all-order resurgence analysis of a quantum field theory renormalon that contributes to an anomalous dimension in six-dimensional scalar $\phi^3$ theory and is governed by a third-order nonlinear differential equation. We…

We present an elementary review of some aspects of Chern-Simons theory with complex gauge group SL(N,C). We discuss some of the challenges in defining the theory as a full-fledged TQFT, as well as some successes inspired by the 3d-3d…

Under certain assumptions and independent of the instantons, we show that the logarithm expansion of dimensional regularization in quantum field theory needs a nonperturbative completion to have a renormalization-group flow valid at all…

The monotonicity-based approach has become one of the fundamental methods for reconstructing inclusions in the inverse problem of electrical impedance tomography. Thus far the method has not been proven to be able to handle extreme…

Tollefson described a variant of normal surface theory for 3-manifolds, called Q-theory, where only the quadrilateral coordinates are used. Suppose $M$ is a triangulated, compact, irreducible, boundary-irreducible 3-manifold. In Q-theory,…

Perturbation series in quantum field theory are generally divergent asymptotic series which are also typically not Borel resummable in the sense that the resummed series is ambiguous. The ambiguity is associated with singularities in the…

We develop a local theory of lacunary Dirichlet series of the form $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}c_k\exp(-zg(k)), \Re(z)>0$ as $z$ approaches the boundary $i\RR$, under the assumption $g'\to\infty$ and further assumptions on $c_k$. These…

Topology provides an essential concept for achieving unchanged (or protected) quantum properties in the presence of perturbations. A challenge facing realistic applications is that the level of protection displayed in real systems is…

There has been recently considerable progress in understanding the nature of perturbation theory in UV free and gapped $2d$ integrable field theories with renormalon singularities. Thanks to Bethe ansatz and large $N$ techniques,…

This paper provides a unified framework connecting dynamical systems with tools from topological data analysis and geometric topology and inspires new interactions among dynamical systems, topology, and nonlinear analysis. To this end, we…

A run of all failures, a run of all successes, or complete separation in a logistic regression each tempts the analyst to declare a probability of exactly zero or one. The central message of this paper is that all three phenomena share a…

A U(N) Chern-Simons theory on noncommutative $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ is constructed as a $\q$-deformed field theory. The model is characterized by two symmetries: the BRST-symmetry and the topological linear vector supersymmetry. It is shown that…

There is a large mathematical literature on classical mechanics and field theory, especially on the relationship to symplectic geometry. One might think that the classical Chern-Simons theory, which is topological and so has vanishing…

In this paper we give a proof of the Lefschetz fixed point formula of Freed$^{\rm [1]}$ for an orientation-reversing involution on an odd dimensional spin manifold by using the direct geometric method introduced in [2] and then we…

This paper investigates some issues arising in categorical models of reversible logic and computation. Our claim is that the structural (coherence) isomorphisms of these categorical models, although generally overlooked, have decidedly…

We present a Lagrangian formulation for ${\cal N}=8$ superconformal field theories in three spacetime dimensions that is general enough to encompass infinite-dimensional gauge algebras that generally go beyond Lie algebras. To this end we…
