Aleksandrov–Buryak–Tessler conjecture for the extended refined partition function

Let NN be any value for which the formal series are defined, let τNo,ext\tau^{o,\mathrm{ext}}_N be the extended refined open partition function, and let τN\tau_N be the Kontsevich–Penner tau-function. Use the formal variables tit_i and sis_i and make the substitutions

T2i+1=ti(2i+1)!!,T2i+2=si2i+1(i+1)!.T_{2i+1}=\frac{t_i}{(2i+1)!!},\qquad T_{2i+2}=\frac{s_i}{2^{i+1}(i+1)!}.

Extended refined Kontsevich–Penner conjecture. For any NN we have

τNo,ext=τNT2i+1=ti(2i+1)!!,\T2i+2=si2i+1(i+1)!.\tau^{o,\mathrm{ext}}_N=\left.\tau_N\right|_{\substack{T_{2i+1}=\frac{t_i}{(2i+1)!!},\T_{2i+2}=\frac{s_i}{2^{i+1}(i+1)!}.}}

The equality is known for N=1N=1 and the source states that the conjecture is proved in genus 00 and 11; it remains open in general.
