Abstract

For N2N \geq 2, we study a certain sequence (ρp(cp))(\rho_p^{(c_p)}) of N-dimensional representations of the mapping class group of the one-holed torus arising from SO(3)-TQFT, and show that the conjecture of Andersen, Masbaum, and Ueno \cite{1} holds for these representations. This is done by proving that, in a certain basis and up to a rescaling, the matrices of these representations converge as pp tends to infinity. Moreover, the limits describe the action of SL2(Z)SL_{2}(\mathbb{Z}) on the space of homogeneous polynomials of two variables of total degree N1N-1.
