Abstract
We construct a deformed Penner generating function responsible for the close connection between Chern-Simons gauge theories at large and the Penner models. This construction is then shown to follow from a sector of a Chern-Simons gauge theory with coupling constant . The free energy and its continuum limit of the perturbative Chern-Simons gauge theory are obtained from the Penner model. Finally, asymptotic expansions for the logarithm of the gauge group volumes are given for every genus and shown to be equivalent to the continuum limits of the Chern-Simons gauge theories and the Penner models
