Abstract: For a banded link $L$ in a surface times a circle, the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants are topological invariants depending on a sequence of complex $2p$-th roots of unity $(A_p{)}_{pin2mathbbN}$. We show that there exists a polynomial $P_L$ such that these normalized invariants converge to $P_L(u)$ when $A_p$ converges to $u$, for all but a finite number of $u$'s in $S^1$. This is related to the AMU conjecture which predicts that non-simple curves have infinite order under quantum representations (for big enough levels). Estimating the degree of $P_L$, we exhibit particular types of curves which satisfy this conjecture. Along the way we prove the Witten asymptotic conjecture for links in a surface times a circle.
