Open Virasoro conjecture for the full open partition function

From papers

Let FcF^c and FoF^o be the closed and open descendent generating series, and define the full partition function by

Z=exp(Fc+Fo).\mathsf{Z}=\exp(F^c+F^o).

Let LnL_n be the differential operators in uu and the variables tit_i, and define, for n1n\geq -1,

Ln=Ln+unsn+1sn+1+3n+34unnsn.\mathcal{L}_n=L_n+u^n s\frac{\partial^{n+1}}{\partial s^{n+1}}+\frac{3n+3}{4}u^n\frac{\partial^n}{\partial s^n}.

Open Virasoro conjecture. The operators Ln\mathcal{L}_n annihilate the full partition function:

n1,LnZ=0.\forall n\geq -1,\qquad \mathcal{L}_n\mathsf{Z}=0.

These constraints extend the closed Virasoro constraints to the open theory and are intended to determine the open descendent invariants. The supplied text gives no resolution evidence.
