Description

There are several important conceptual and computational questions concerning the Minkowski space path integral, which have recently been approached from a new perspective motivated by "resurgent asymptotics", which is a novel mathematical formalism that seeks to unify perturbative and non-perturbative physics. In this general talk, I will introduce the basic ideas, report on some examples in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, and discuss future prospects.
