Abstract
A conjecture of Andersen, Masbaum and Ueno states that for any compact oriented surface and any pseudo-Anosov the matrix has infinite order for any large where is the -WRT quantum representation of the mapping class group at a primitive -th root of unity. We prove this conjecture for prime and any where is the Johnson kernel.
