Abstract
We consider a model of field theory in which perturbation theory diverges and analytically continue the energy levels into the complex plane. Using WKB technique, we determine that the energy levels have an infinite sequence of branch points (where level crossing occurs) with a limit point . Thus the origin is not an isolated singularity. The resolvent has an infinite sequence of poles with a limit point at .
