Asymptotic formulae for curve operators in TQFT

Abstract: Topological quantum field theories with gauge group

e x t r m {S U}_{2}

associate to each surface with marked points

S i g m a

and each integer

r > 0

a vector space

V_{r} (S i g m a)

and to each simple closed curve

g a m m a

in

S i g m a

an Hermitian operator

T_{r}^{g a m m a}

acting on that space. We show that the matrix elements of the operators

T_{r}^{g a m m a}

have an asymptotic expansion in orders of

f r a c 1 r

, and give a formula to compute the first two terms in terms of trace functions, generalizing results of March'e and Paul.
