Residue Formulas for the Large k Asymptotics of Witten's Invariants of Seifert Manifolds. The Case of SU(2)

Abstract

We derive the large k asymptotics of the surgery formula for SU(2) Witten's invariants of general Seifert manifolds. The contributions of connected components of the moduli space of flat connections are identified. The contributions of irreducible connections are presented in a residue form. This form is similar to the one used by A. Szenes, L. Jeffrey and F. Kirwan. This similarity allows us to express the contributions of irreducible connections in terms of intersection numbers on their moduli spaces.
