The Feynman $i\varepsilon$ is an important ingredient in defining perturbative scattering amplitudes in field theory. Here we describe its analog in string theory. Roughly one takes the string worldsheet to have Lorentz signature when a string is going on-shell although it has Euclidean signature generically.

  1. $c=1$ strings as a matrix integral

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    The c=1 string perturbative S-matrix equals a double-scaled (0+0)-dimensional matrix integral on the spectral curve x(z)=2√2 cos(z), y(z)=sin(z), establishing triality with worldsheet and matrix quantum mechanics desc...

  2. Resurgence of high-energy string amplitudes

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    High-energy string amplitudes have asymptotic expansions governed by Bernoulli numbers, upgraded via resurgence to transseries whose Stokes data encode non-perturbative monodromy between kinematic regions.
