The subprincipal-symbol conjecture for curve operators

Let γ\gamma be a multicurve, let fγf_\gamma be its trace function, and let (τ,θ)(\tau,\theta) be action-angle coordinates on the relevant open subset of M(Σ,t)\mathcal M(\Sigma,t), with τ\tau in the interior of UU and θ(R/2πZ)E\theta\in(\mathbb R/2\pi\mathbb Z)^E. For the ψ\psi-symbol σγ=kFk(τ,)eikθ\sigma^\gamma=\sum_kF_k(\tau,\hbar)e^{ik\theta}, where kθ=ekeθek\theta=\sum_ek_e\theta_e, Subprincipal-symbol conjecture. The symbol has the asymptotic development

σγ=fγ+(12ie2fγθeτe)+o().\sigma^\gamma=f_\gamma+\left(\frac{1}{2i}\sum_e\frac{\partial^2f_\gamma}{\partial\theta_e\partial\tau_e}\right)\hbar+o(\hbar).

This is the proposed first-order deformation formula for the curve-operator symbol, identifying its subprincipal term with mixed action-angle derivatives of the classical trace function.
