Description
Resurgence is a new approach to quantum field theory that combines perturbative and non-perturbative effects in a unified framework. The primary motivation is to uncover new computationally practical methods for path integrals in strongly interacting finite density and non-equilibrium systems. I'll give an overview of the key ideas and discuss applications to quantum field theory, matrix models and quantum mechanics, where new relations between perturbative and non-perturbative sectors have been discovered.
