Beyond the Dilute Instanton Gas: Resurgence with Exact Saddles in the Double Well

Aurelien Dersy, Matthew D. Schwartz ยท 2026

The path-integral approach to the double well has long been limited by the dilute instanton gas approximation. We show that if the finite Euclidean-time structure is taken seriously by using exact sadโ€ฆ
