Sequences of Nilsson type appear in abundance in Algebraic Geometry, Enumerative Combinatorics, Mathematical Physics and Quantum Topology. We give an elementary introduction on this subject, including the definition of sequences of Nilsson type and the uniqueness, existence, and effective computation of their asymptotic expansion.

Asymptotics of quantum spin networks at a fixed root of unity
A classical spin network consists of a ribbon graph (i.e., an abstract graph with a cyclic ordering of the vertices around each edge) and an admissible coloring of its edges by natural numbers. The…
Knots, BPS States, and Algebraic Curves
We analyze relations between BPS degeneracies related to Labastida-Mariño-Ooguri-Vafa (LMOV) invariants and algebraic curves associated to knots. We introduce a new class of such curves, which we…
Analyticity of the Planar Limit of a Matrix Model
Using Chebyshev polynomials combined with some mild combinatorics, we provide an alternative approach to the analytical and formal planar limits of a random matrix model with a 1-cut potential V. For…
Asymptotics of classical spin networks
A spin network is a cubic ribbon graph labeled by representations of SU.2/. Spin networks are important in various areas of Mathematics (3‐dimensional Quantum Topology), Physics (Angular Momentum,…

Resurrecting the asymptotics of linear recurrences
The colored Jones function is q-holonomic
A function of several variables is called holonomic if, roughly speaking, it is determined from finitely many of its values via finitely many linear recursion relations with polynomial coefficients.…
