abstract

The partition function of complex Chern-Simons theory on a 3-manifold with torus boundary reduces to a finite dimensional state-integral which is a holomorphic function of a complexified Planck's constant $\tau$ in the complex cut plane and an entire function of a complex parameter $u$. This gives rise to a vector of factorially divergent perturbative formal power series whose Stokes rays form a peacock-like pattern in the complex plane. We conjecture that these perturbative series are resurgent, their trans-series involve two non-perturbative variables, their Stokes automorphism satisfies a unique factorization property and that it is given explicitly in terms of a fundamental matrix solution to a (dual) linear $q$-difference equation. We further conjecture that entries of the Stokes automorphism matrix are the 3D-indices of Dimofte-Gaiotto-Gukov. We provide proofs of our statements regarding the $q$-difference equations and their properties of their fundamental solutions and illustrate our conjectures regarding the Stokes matrices with numerical calculations for the two simplest hyperbolic $4_1$ and $5_2$ knots.

    Extends operator formalism of closed topological strings to derive all-order trans-series solutions for real topological strings, with disk invariants as Stokes constants and numerical checks on local P2.

  4. Modular resurgence of topological string

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Stokes constants of topological string non-perturbative contributions are invariant on monodromy orbits, reproduce the BPS spectrum, and satisfy the Kontsevich-Soibelman Lie algebra.

  5. Two roles of Alexander in two Kashaev phases

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Alexander polynomials appear in two opposite roles in two Kashaev phases of Chern-Simons theory due to co-existing branches in the quasiclassical limit with non-trivial versus vanishing classical actions.
