Abstract
Under convenient geometric assumptions, the saddle-point method for multidimensional Laplace integrals is extended to the case where the contours of integration have boundaries. The asymptotics are studied in the case of nondegenerate and of degenerate isolated critical points. The incidence of the Stokes phenomenon is related to the monodromy of the homology via generalized Picard-Lefschetz formulae and is quantified in terms of geometric indices of intersection. Exact remainder terms and the hyperasymptotics are then derived. A direct consequence is a numerical algorithm to determine the Stokes constants and indices of intersections. Examples are provided.

A primer on resurgent transseries and their asymptotics

TL;DR: In this paper, resurgence and transseries are used to encode the complete large-order asymptotic behaviour of the coefficients from a perturbative expansion, generically in terms of (multi) instanton sectors and for each problem in terms with its Stokes constants, which are recast in equivalent physical languages: either a statistical mechanical language, as motions in chains and lattices; or a conformal field theoretical language, with underlying Virasoro-like algebraic structures.

Aspects of Scattering Amplitudes and Moduli Space Localization

TL;DR: In this paper, intersection numbers of certain cohomology classes on the moduli space of genus-zero Riemann surfaces with $n$ punctures, $\mathcal{M}_{0,n}), compute tree-level scattering amplitudes in quantum field theories with a finite spectrum of particles.

A Primer on Resurgent Transseries and Their Asymptotics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a good introduction to the resurgence and transseries of perturbative expansion models, which can be recast in equivalent physical languages: either a statistical mechanical language, as motions in chains and lattices; or a conformal field theoretical language, with underlying Virasoro-like algebraic structures.

Quantum geometry of resurgent perturbative/nonperturbative relations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors unify these examples in geometric terms, arguing that the all-orders quantum action determines the allorders quantum dual action for quantum spectral problems associated with a classical genus one elliptic curve.
