Abstract

We state Asymptotic Expansion and Growth Rate conjectures for the Witten–Reshetikhin–Turaev invariants of arbitrary framed links in 3-manifolds, and we prove these conjectures for the natural links in mapping tori of finite-order automorphisms of marked surfaces. Our approach is based upon geometric quantisation of the moduli space of parabolic bundles on the surface, which we show coincides with the construction of the Witten–Reshetikhin–Turaev invariants.
