Resurgence

In theoretical physics, resurgence is used to treat infinities in quantum field theory.

Explanation

Resurgent functions are divergent power series whose Borel transforms converge in a neighborhood of the origin and give rise, by means of analytic continuation, to (usually) multi-valued functions. These functions have merely isolated singularities without singularities that form cuts with dimension one or greater.
