Nonperturbative terms in the free energy of Chern-Simons gauge theory play akey role in its duality to the closed topological string. We show that theseterms are reproduced by performing a double scaling limit near the point wherethe perturbation expansion diverges. This leads to a derivation of closedstring theory from this large-N gauge theory along the lines of noncriticalstring theories. We comment on the possible relevance of this observation tothe derivation of superpotentials of asymptotically free gauge theories and itsrelation to infrared renormalons.Comment: 10 pages, LaTe
