From exact-WKB towards singular quantum perturbation theory

Abstract

We use exact WKB analysis to derive some concrete formulae in singular quantum perturbation theory, for Schr\"odinger eigenvalue problems on the real line with polynomial potentials of the form $(q^M + g q^N)$, where $N>M>0$ even, and $g>0$. Mainly, we establish the $g \to 0$ limiting forms of global spectral functions such as the zeta-regularized determinants and some spectral zeta functions.
