Abstract: We give a new way to study recursive towers of curves over a finite field, defined from a bottom curve $Cun$ and a correspondence $Cdeux$ on $Cun$.In particular, we study their asymptotic behavior. A close examination of singularities leads to a necessary condition for a tower to be asymptotically good. Then, spectral theory on a directed graph and considerations on the class of $Cdeux$ in $NS(CunimesCun)$ lead to the fact that, under some mild assumptions, a recursive tower which does not reach Drinfeld-Vladut bound cannot be optimal in Tsfasmann-Vladut sense. Results are applied to the Bezerra-Garcia-Stichtenoth tower along the paper for illustration.
