Abstract

We study the SU(2) Principal Chiral Model (PCM) in the presence of an integrable η-deformation. We put the theory on R×S1 with twisted boundary conditions and then reduce the circle to obtain an effective quantum mechanics associated with the Whittaker-Hill equation. Using resurgent analysis we stud...
