The r-Bouchard–Mariño conjecture for r-Hurwitz numbers

From papers

For each g,ng,n, let Hg,r(x1,,xn)H_{g,r}(x_1,\dots,x_n) be the generating function formed from the invariants hg,r;k1,,knh_{g,r;k_1,\dots,k_n}, and let DD denote the differential operator

Df=nfx1xndx1dxn.Df=\frac{\partial^n f}{\partial x_1\cdots\partial x_n}\,dx_1\cdots dx_n.

Let C\mathcal C be the plane curve

x=yr+logy,x=-y^r+\log y,

and let Wg,n\mathcal W_{g,n} be its nn-point correlation forms. The rr-Bouchard–Mariño conjecture.

DHg,r(x1,,xn)=Wg,n.DH_{g,r}(x_1,\ldots,x_n)=\mathcal W_{g,n}.

This conjecture connects the generating series of rr-Hurwitz numbers with the topological-recursion correlation forms of the specified spectral curve. The source does not state a resolution status.
