About

Topological string theory has (spacetime) instanton sectors, which the resurgence theory predicts to be completely controlled by the perturbative free energy via Stokes transformations. Recent results also suggest the Stokes constants are related to BPS/DT invariants. To make this picture concrete, one needs to first solve the instanton amplitudes and then calculate the Stokes constants. We demonstrate that the first problem can be solved exactly and completely through a transseries extension of the BCOV holomorphic anomaly equations. We also show that valuable information on BPS invariants can be obtained through the calculation of Stokes constants. We will demonstrate our results with the example of the famous quintic manifold. .
