Abstract

We show that the nn-point, genus-gg correlation functions of topological recursion on any regular spectral curve with simple ramifications grow at most like (2g2+n)!(2g - 2 + n)! as gg \rightarrow \infty, which is the expected growth rate. This provides, in particular, an upper bound for many curve counting problems in large genus and serves as a preliminary step for a resurgence analysis.
