Physics Faculty Work to Improve Accessibility and Destigmatize Disability Across CLAS
About 20% of UConn students are supported by the Center for Students with Disabilities. The true percentage of students who need help is even higher. With so many students who require diverse ways of learning, how can faculty make sure their teaching is adequate, effective and inclusive for all students? In order to address this […]

Title: Crossing Natural Boundaries using Resurgent Continuation
Abstract:
In quantum field theory, we are interested in computing quantities via the path integral formalism. This object is generally ill-defined, and we often rely on perturbation theory, or non-perturbative methods such as the lattice. All of these rely on the analytic continuation of the path integral, which is a non-trivial operation that is poorly understood, especially in gauge theories. In this work, we display a novel method of analytically continuing the path integral in a three-dimensional gauge theory using underlying principles of resurgent asymptotics, a branch of complex analysis that has seen recent success in unifying perturbative and non-perturbative physics in various problems in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. With this perspective, we discover new relations between the path integral and number theoretic objects related to Ramanujan’s mock theta functions. -
