For a punctured surface S, a point of its Teichmüller space T (S) determines an irreducible representation of its quantization Tq(S). We analyze the behavior of these representations as one goes to infinity in T (S), or in the moduli space ℳ(S) of the surface. The main result of this paper states that an irreducible representation of Tq(S) limits to a direct sum of representations of Tq(Sγ), where Sγ is obtained from S by pinching a multicurve γ to a set of nodes. The result is analogous to the factorization rule found in conformal field theory.
Keywords: quantum Teichmüller space, Weil–Petersson geometry, ideal triangulations, shear coordinates
