The full analytic trans-series in integrable field theories

Abstract

We analyze a family of generalized energy densities in integrable quantum field theories in the presence of an external field coupled to a conserved charge. By using the Wiener-Hopf technique to solve the linear thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations we derive the full analytic trans-series for these observables in terms of a perturbatively defined basis. We show how to calculate these basis elements to high orders analytically and reveal their complete resurgence structure. We demonstrate that the physical value of the energy density is obtained by the median resummation of the perturbative series.
