New Nonperturbative Methods in Quantum Field Theory: From Large-N Orbifold Equivalence to Bions and Resurgence

GV Dunne, M Ünsal - Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle …, 2016 - annualreviews.org
We present a broad conceptual introduction to some new ideas in nonperturbative quantum
field theory (QFT) that have led to progress toward an understanding of quark confinement in …

Resurgence and trans-series in Quantum Field Theory: the model

GV Dunne, M Ünsal - Journal of high energy physics, 2012 - Springer
A bstract This work is a step towards a non-perturbative continuum definition of quantum
field theory (QFT), beginning with asymptotically free two dimensional non-linear sigma …

Decoding perturbation theory using resurgence: Stokes phenomena, new saddle points and Lefschetz thimbles

A Cherman, D Dorigoni, M Ünsal - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer
A bstract Resurgence theory implies that the non-perturbative (NP) and perturbative (P) data
in a QFT are quantitatively related, and that detailed information about non-perturbative …

Continuity and Resurgence: Towards a continuum definition of the CP (N<? format?>-<? format?> 1) model

GV Dunne, M Ünsal - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2013 - APS
We introduce a nonperturbative continuum framework to study the dynamics of quantum
field theory (QFT), applied here to the CP (N-1) model. We show that the ambiguities in …

Resurgence in quantum field theory: nonperturbative effects in the principal chiral model

A Cherman, D Dorigoni, GV Dunne, M Ünsal - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We explain the physical role of nonperturbative saddle points of path integrals in theories
without instantons, using the example of the asymptotically free two-dimensional principal …

Strongly coupled QFT dynamics via TQFT coupling

M Ünsal - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We consider a class of quantum field theories and quantum mechanics, which we
couple to ℤ N topological QFTs, in order to classify non-perturbative effects in the original …

From 4d Yang-Mills to 2d ℂℙN− 1 model: IR problem and confinement at weak coupling

Relations among topological solitons

M Nitta - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We clarify relations among topological solitons in various dimensions: a domain wall, non-
Abelian vortex, magnetic monopole, and Yang-Mills instanton, together with a (non-Abelian) …

Neutral bions in the PN −1 model

O(3) nonlinear sigma model in dimensions with matrix product states

F Bruckmann, K Jansen, S Kühn - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
