Abstract:

Quantum field theories and string theories often lead to perturbative series which encode geometric information. In this lecture I will argue that, in the case of complex Chern-Simons theory, perturbative series secretly encode integer invariants, related in some cases to BPS counting. The framework which makes this relation possible is the theory of resurgence, where perturbative series lead to additional non-perturbative sectors, and the integer invariants arise as Stokes constants. I will illustrate these claims with explicit examples related to quantum invariants of hyperbolic knots. If time permits, I will mention similar results in topological string theory.

  • [Geometry and Physics Seminars] Comments on Wilson Lines in Massless Gauge Theories

    Abstract:We consider the Wilson line operators in certain gauge quantum field theories, including massless QED, massless scalar QED, and N=4 SYM as well as some examples in 2+1d. We find that Wilson lines sometimes admit interesting deformations leading to new conformal line operators. Also, sometimes, Wilson lines are destabilized and lead to an RG flow which we analyze. We also comment on t H...
