The Resurgence of the Cusp Anomalous Dimension
read the original abstract
This work addresses the resurgent properties of the cusp anomalous dimension's strong coupling expansion, obtained from the integral Beisert-Eden-Staudacher (BES) equation. This expansion is factorially divergent, and its first nonperturbative corrections are related to the mass gap of the $O(6)$ $\sigma$-model. The factorial divergence can also be analysed from a resurgence perspective. Building on the work of Basso and Korchemsky, a transseries ansatz for the cusp anomalous dimension is proposed and the corresponding expected large-order behaviour studied. One finds non-perturbative phenomena in both the positive and negative real coupling directions, which need to be included to address the analyticity conditions coming from the BES equation. After checking the resurgence structure of the proposed transseries, it is shown that it naturally leads to an unambiguous resummation procedure, furthermore allowing for a strong/weak coupling interpolation.

Resurgence of high-energy string amplitudes
High-energy string amplitudes have asymptotic expansions governed by Bernoulli numbers, upgraded via resurgence to transseries whose Stokes data encode non-perturbative monodromy between kinematic regions.

Strong coupling structure of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM observables with matrix Bessel kernel
Reorganizing the transseries of matrix Bessel kernel determinants at strong coupling yields a simple structure where non-perturbative corrections are directly determined by the perturbative series for N=4 SYM observables.
