Description
We study nonlinear effective field theories (EFTs) with factorially growing perturbative expansions, focusing on a class in which the relative entropy encodes an infinite tower of higher-dimensional operators. Using the resummed relative entropy, we derive bounds on EFT coefficients: the non-negativity of the resummed relative entropy fixes the sign of their asymptotic growth, while its violation signals nonperturbative effects such as instabilities. In fermionic QED, analytic continuation from Euclidean to Minkowski spacetime yields a concrete example: the Schwinger effect, a nonperturbative instability captured by the resummed relative entropy.
