Resonant resurgent asymptotics from quantum field theory
arXiv:2202.01513 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2022.115861
Abstract
We perform an all-order resurgence analysis of a quantum field theory renormalon that contributes to an anomalous dimension in six-dimensional scalar theory and is governed by a third-order nonlinear differential equation. We augment the factorially divergent perturbative expansion associated to the renormalon by asymptotic expansions to all instanton orders, in a conjectured and well-tested formula. A distinctive feature of this renormalon singularity is the appearance of logarithmic terms, starting at second-instanton order in the trans-series. To highlight this and to illustrate our methods, we also analyze the trans-series for a closely related second-order nonlinear differential equation that exhibits a similarly resonant structure but lacks logarithmic contributions.
