We compute the exact QED_{3+1} effective action for fermions in the presence of a family of static but spatially inhomogeneous magnetic field profiles. An asymptotic expansion of this exact effective action yields an all-orders derivative expansion, the first terms of which agree with independent derivative expansion computations. These results generalize analogous earlier results by Cangemi et al in QED_{2+1}.

Resurgence of the Effective Action in Inhomogeneous Fields
Inhomogeneous background fields convert Borel poles in the effective action to branch points and introduce new ones, allowing resurgent extrapolation to recover non-perturbative information from perturbative input mor...
