Resurgent properties of minimal string theory: part I

In these talks we will report the findings of our unpublished work on resurgent properties of the Painlevé I and II equations. These equations play a fundamental role in Minimal String Theories as the specific heat of 2D (Super)-Quantum Gravity. We will do a short introduction to the topic of resurgence and explain the role of Stokes constants when constructing solutions to these equations. While reviewing these tools, we will present our new method for numerically calculating these constants in very general setups to reasonably high precision.
