abstract
Using the matrix model which calculates the exact free energy of ABJM theory on S^3 we study non-perturbative effects in the large N expansion of this model, i.e., in the genus expansion of type IIA string theory on AdS4xCP^3. We propose a general prescription to extract spacetime instanton actions from general matrix models, in terms of period integrals of the spectral curve, and we use it to determine them explicitly in the ABJM matrix model, as exact functions of the 't Hooft coupling. We confirm numerically that these instantons control the asymptotic growth of the genus expansion. Furthermore, we find that the dominant instanton action at strong coupling determined in this way exactly matches the action of an Euclidean D2-brane instanton wrapping RP^3.

A bootstrap approach applied to ABJM theory yields analytic derivations of instanton corrections to the free energy and to 1/2 and 1/6 BPS Wilson loops, confirming relations previously known only conjecturally.
Vertices of fundamental domains for del Pezzo quantum curves with FI parameters are realized as factorized curves from 5-branes dressed by FI parameters, matching minuscule weights.
Negative-tension ZZ-branes are required by resurgence to build complete transseries for minimal-string free energies, with analytic Stokes data and extensions to JT gravity and other string models.
Stokes constants of topological string non-perturbative contributions are invariant on monodromy orbits, reproduce the BPS spectrum, and satisfy the Kontsevich-Soibelman Lie algebra.
Lecture notes review exact WKB analysis for ODEs and its combination with topological recursion and isomonodromy to compute monodromy and resurgent structures for Painlevé equations.
