We investigate the possibility that stringy nonperturbative effects appear as holes in the world-sheet. We focus on the case of Dirichlet string theory, which we argue should be formulated differently than in previous work, and we find that the effects of boundaries are naturally weighted by $e^{-O(1/g_{\rm st})}$.

  1. Non-Perturbative Real Topological Strings

    hep-th 2023-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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.

    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.
