Determinantal formula for the Baker–Akhiezer kernel

Let xx be the spectral-curve coordinate and let K~(z1,z2)\widetilde{K}(z_1,z_2) be the formal Baker–Akhiezer kernel defined by

K~(z1,z2)=exp(Nz2z1ydx)(z1z2)x(z1)x(z2)exp[g,lN22gll!z2z1z2z1lωl(g)],\widetilde{K}(z_1,z_2)=\frac{\exp\left(-N\int_{z_2}^{z_1}y\,dx\right)}{(z_1-z_2)\sqrt{x'(z_1)x'(z_2)}}\exp\left[\sum'_{g,l}\frac{N^{2-2g-l}}{l!}\underbrace{\int_{z_2}^{z_1}\cdots\int_{z_2}^{z_1}}_{l}\omega_l^{(g)}\right],

where the primed sum excludes all terms with 22gl02-2g-l\geq 0. Let K(x1,x2)K(x_1,x_2) denote the determinantal kernel associated with the correlators Wn(g)W_n^{(g)}. Baker–Akhiezer kernel conjecture. The formal Baker–Akhiezer kernel equals the determinantal kernel after expressing its arguments through xx:

K~(z1,z2)=K(x(z1),x(z2)).\widetilde{K}(z_1,z_2)=K(x(z_1),x(z_2)).

If true, this identification would extend the determinantal formula already established for the one-point function to the full kernel and hence provide determinantal formulae for the correlators. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
