Abstract
It is known that the partition function and correlators of the two-dimensional topological field theory on the Riemann surface is given by Verlinde numbers, dim() and that the large limit of dim() gives Vol(), the volume of the moduli space of flat connections of gauge group on , up to a power of . Given this relationship, we complete the computation of Vol() using only algebraic results from conformal field theory. The group-level duality of is used to show that if is a classical group, then is a BF theory with gauge group . Therefore this limit computes Vol(), the volume of the moduli space of flat connections of gauge group .
