Resurgence of deformed genus-1 curves: A novel perturbative/nonperturbative relation

Abstract

We present a new perturbative/nonperturbative (P/NP) relation that applies to a broader class of genus-1 potentials, including those that possess real and complex instantons parametrized by a deformation parameter, such as polynomial and elliptic potentials. Our findings significantly extend the scope of quantum mechanical systems for which perturbation theory suffices to calculate the contributions of nonperturbative effects to energy levels, with or without the need for a boundary condition, depending on the potential. We further provide evidence for our results by predicting the corrections to the large-order behavior of the perturbative expansion for the Jacobi SD elliptic potential using the early terms of the instanton fluctuations that satisfy the P/NP relation.
