“…In physics, the EWKB gives connection formulae, which are used to calculate the Bogoliubov coefficients of quantum particle production [25,26] and quantum transitions in the Landau-Zener model [27,28]; for recent applications of the EWKB, see refs. [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”

The physical observables of quantum theory can be described by perturbation theory, which is often given by diverging power series. This divergence is connected to the existence of non-perturbative phenomena, where resurgence allows us to study this connection. Applying this idea to the WKB expansion, the exact WKB analysis gives a clear connection to non-perturbative phenomena. In this paper, we apply the exact WKB analysis to the Unruh effect and Hawking radiation. The mechanism we found in this paper is similar to the Schwinger effect of a constant electric field, where the background is static but the Stokes phenomenon appears in the temporal part. Comparing this with a sonic black hole, our calculations show a clear discrepancy between them. Then, we briefly explain how quantum backreactions can be included in the exact WKB formalism.

“…This would be the reverse image of systems like the Sine-Gordon or the bi-Yang-Baxter deformed PCM, which have residues, but no branch cuts. A deformation away from such a special special point that creates new non-perturbative contributions is reminiscent of Cheshire-cat resurgence [27,40,153] -see also [65] for similar behaviour of disappearing singularities of integer values of a parameter connected to quantum-mechanical reduction of a WZW model.…”

Resurgence in Deformed Integrable Models

Resurgence has been shown to be a powerful and even necessary technique to understand many physical system. The study of perturbative methods in general quantum field theories is hard, but progress is often possible in reduced settings, such as integrable models. In this thesis, we study resurgent effects in integrable deformations of two-dimensional σ-models in two settings.First, we study the integrable bi-Yang-Baxter deformation of the SU (2) principal chiral model (PCM) and find finite action uniton and complex uniton solutions. Under an adiabatic compactification on an S 1 , we obtain a quantum mechanical system with an elliptic Lamé-like potential. We perform a perturbative calculation of the ground state energy of this quantum mechanical system to large orders obtaining an asymptotic series.Using the Borel-Padé technique, we determine that the locations of branch cuts in the Borel plane match the values of the uniton and complex uniton actions. Therefore, we can match the non-perturbative contributions to the energy with the uniton solutions which fractionate upon adiabatic compactification. An off-shoot of the WKB analysis, is to identify the quadratic differential of this deformed PCM with that of an N = 2 Seiberg-Witten theory. This can be done either as an N f = 4 SU (2) theory or as an elliptic SU (2) × SU (2) quiver theory. The mass parameters of the gauge theory are given in terms of the bi-Yang-Baxter deformation parameters.Second, we perform a perturbative expansion of the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) equations of the SU (N ) λ-model with WZW level k in the presence of a chemical potential. This is done with its exact S-matrix and the recently developed techniques [1, 2] using a Wiener-Hopf decomposition, which involve a careful matching of bulk and edge ansätze. We determine the asymptotic expansion of this series and compute its renormalon ambiguities in the Borel plane. The analysis is supplemented by a parallel solution of the TBA equations that results in a transseries. The transseries comes with an ambiguity that is shown to precisely match the Borel ambiguity. It is shown that the leading IR renormalon vanishes when k is a divisor of N .ii Contents Foreword viAcknowledgements ix Declaration of Authorship x Resurgence for Laymen xiIn the first place, my gratitude extends to Dan, who gave me not only the chance to embark on this project, but without whose mentor-ship, guidance and encouragement this thesis would have fallen flat on many more occasions.Secondly, I would like to thank S.
