Stokes automorphism conjecture for the Painlevé I perturbative partition function

Let Z(t,ν,)Z(t,\nu,\hbar) be the perturbative partition function for the Painlevé I system, and let S\mathfrak S denote the Stokes automorphism associated with the BB-periods. Write ν\partial_\nu for differentiation with respect to ν\nu, and interpret functions of eνe^{-\hbar\partial_\nu} as formal difference operators. Stokes automorphism conjecture. The Stokes automorphism acts on ZZ by

SZ(t,ν,)=exp(12πiLi2(eν)ν2πilog(1eν))Z(t,ν,).\mathfrak S Z(t,\nu,\hbar)= \exp\left( \frac{1}{2\pi i}\operatorname{Li}_2\left(e^{-\hbar\partial_\nu}\right) -\frac{\hbar\partial_\nu}{2\pi i}\log\left(1-e^{-\hbar\partial_\nu}\right) \right)Z(t,\nu,\hbar).

This is the zero-Fourier-mode consequence of the preceding conjectural tau-function connection formula and describes the resurgent Stokes jump of the perturbative partition function; its status is not resolved in the supplied text.
