SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the exploration of Resurgence Theory and Quantum Field Theory (QFT) as potential breakthroughs in quantum mechanics. The original poster is preparing a PhD thesis and is investigating various papers, particularly focusing on the Borel resummation ambiguity in the double well and the role of instantons. Despite the growing interest in Resurgence Theory, the poster finds a lack of resources and discussions on this topic within the forum. They have consulted their adviser, who, while not an expert in the field, has shown interest in guiding their research.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Field Theory (QFT)
  • Familiarity with Borel resummation techniques
  • Knowledge of instantons in quantum mechanics
  • Experience in academic research methodologies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the latest papers on Resurgence Theory in QFT
  • Study the implications of Borel resummation in quantum mechanics
  • Examine case studies involving instantons and their applications
  • Engage with academic communities focused on quantum mechanics and resurgence
USEFUL FOR

Students and researchers in theoretical physics, particularly those focusing on quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and mathematical physics. This discussion is especially beneficial for individuals preparing advanced academic theses in these areas.

Hey there

I'm starting to work on my thesis and this is one possible subject. I'm reading a few papers (pretty much anything that appears on the first google search page) dealing with it from several different angles. From a completely general and mathematical stand to specific examples, like the Borel resummation ambiguity in the double well and how instantons relate to that.

But I haven't found anything on this forum about it. In fact, besides a few papers here and there I haven't found much at all. So I thought I'd ask here if anyone worked with this or is working right now, and has some advice to give.

BTW, I didn't know where to put this topic, here or in Quantum Mechanics.

Resurgence is a very interesting topic and although I am not working on it directly, it seems to me that it has been generating quite interest recently. It seems to me to be a very worthwhile topic to learn about. You are talking about a Master thesis? Of course, an important factor for you to consider is whether you have someone at your institution who can guide you in your work. You have discussed this with your adviser?
 
PhD thesis. I did talk to an adviser. It's not his primary field but he seems interested.
