Structure morphism conjecture for the double Hurwitz moduli spaces

Let P(x)\overline{P}(\mathbf{x}) be the moduli space appearing in the proposed ELSV formula for double Hurwitz numbers, and let Λ2g\Lambda_{2g} be its tautological Chow class of degree 2g2g. Let Mg,n\overline{\mathcal M}_{g,n} be the moduli space of stable nn-pointed genus-gg curves, and let λg\lambda_g denote its top Hodge class. Structure morphism conjecture. There is a natural structure morphism

π:P(x)Mg,n\pi:\overline{P}(\mathbf{x})\to\overline{\mathcal M}_{g,n}

satisfying

πΛ2g=λg.\pi_*\Lambda_{2g}=\lambda_g.

The statement is offered as evidence for the proposed ELSV-type description, based on computations for one-part double Hurwitz numbers. Its status is not specified in the source.
