Topological quantum field theory associates to a surface a sequence of
vector spaces and to curves on the surface, sequence of operators on
that spaces. It is expected that these operators are Toeplitz although
there is no general proof. I will state it in some particular cases and
give applications to the asymptotics of quantum invariants like quantum
6-j symbols or quantum invariants of Dehn fillings of the figure eight
knot. This is work in progress with (independently) L. Charles and T.
Paul.
