Description

Perturbation series in quantum field theory are generically divergent asymptotic series. Resurgence theory relates such perturbation series and non-perturbative effects which cannot be captured by the perturbative expansion. It has been shown that the so-called bion saddle points play an important role in resurgence theory in a certain class of quantum systems. In this talk, I will overview the recent studies on the bion saddle points in the $CP^{N −1}$ models based on the complexified path integral and the bion saddle points.
