There are two well-known approaches to studying nonperturbative aspects of quantum mechanical systems: Saddle point analysis of the partition functions in Euclidean path integral formulation and the exact-WKB analysis based on the wave functions in the Schr\"{o}dinger equation. In this work, based on the quantization conditions obtained from the exact-WKB method, we determine the relations between the two formalism and in particular show how the two Stokes phenomena are connected to each other: the Stokes phenomenon leading to the ambiguous contribution of different sectors of the path integral formulation corresponds to the change of the "topology" of the Stoke curves in the exact-WKB analysis. We also clarify the equivalence of different quantization conditions including Bohr-Sommerfeld, path integral and Gutzwiller's ones. In particular, by reorganizing the exact quantization condition, we improve Gutzwiller analysis in a crucial way by bion contributions (incorporating complex periodic paths) and turn it into an exact result. Furthermore, we argue the novel meaning of quasi-moduli integral and provide a relation between the Maslov index and the intersection number of Lefschetz thimbles.

  1. An entropic puzzle in periodic dilaton gravity and DSSYK

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Gauging a momentum shift symmetry in sine dilaton gravity yields the DSSYK spectrum, makes negative-length states null, and predicts a finite entropy S=2πθ−2θ² instead of the Bekenstein-Hawking area law.

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For generic one-dimensional potentials, the exact spectrum decomposes into as many trans-series sectors as there are distinct local-minimum energy levels, with continuous transitions across barrier tops and discontinu...
