Resurgent large genus asymptotics of intersection numbers
In the past several decades, it has been established that numerous fundamental invariants in physics and geometry can be expressed in terms of the so-called Witten-Kontsevich intersection numbers. In this talk, I will present a novel approach for calculating their large genus asymptotics. Our technique is based on a resurgent analysis of the n-point functions of such intersection numbers, which are computed using determinantal formulae and depend significantly on the presence of an underlying ODE. I will show how, with this approach, we are able to extend the recent results of Aggarwal with the computation of all subleading corrections. If time permits, I will also explain how the same technique can be applied to address other enumerative problems. Based on a joint work with B. Eynard, E. Garcia-Failde, P. Gregori, D. Lewanski.
