Abstract

We prove asymptotic faithfulness for the quantum Sp(4)\mathrm{Sp}(4) mapping class group representation. This provides the first example of asymptotic faithfulness lying outside of the AnA_n family. The methods used are generalized from the proof of asymptotic faithfulness for skein SU(2)kSU(2)_k mapping class group representations. In short, for any noncentral mapping class a comparison vector is found which allows for the mapping class to be detected.
