Asymptotics and Resurgence in Weil-Petersson Volumes

Explore the non-perturbative properties of 2-dimensional gravity models in this 50-minute lecture by Paolo Gregori from Instituto Superior Técnico Lisbon. Delve into the recent revival of interest in 2D gravity, sparked by the holographic properties of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. Discover how Resurgence tools are applied to investigate these models, leading to significant findings on Weil-Petersson volume asymptotics and instanton contributions to 2D topological gravity. Gain insights into the intersection of quantum gravity, holography, and advanced mathematical techniques in this University of Miami presentation from February 5, 2020.
