Description
A major computational challenge in the physics of intense fields is the ability to do reliable non-perturbative computations for fields that are both strong and have large gradients. In this talk I discuss the use of ideas from resurgence to make precise resummations and analytic continuations into the intense field regime beginning with modest amounts of perturbative weak-field information. The main idea is illustrated with an example of the Schwinger effect in an intense inhomogeneous field.
