Zvonkine's qrqr-ELSV formula

At least 8 years old · documented by

Let g≥0g\geq 0, let q,r≥1q,r\geq 1, and let μ=(μ1,…,μn)\mu=(\mu_1,\ldots,\mu_n) be a partition with n=ℓ(μ)n=\ell(\mu) and ∣μ∣=∑i=1nμi|\mu|=\sum_{i=1}^n\mu_i divisible by qq. Assume that b=((2g−2+n)q+∣μ∣)/(qr)b=((2g-2+n)q+|\mu|)/(qr) is an integer, and let hg;μ∘,q,rh_{g;\mu}^{\circ,q,r} denote the connected qq-orbifold rr-spin Hurwitz number. Write ⌊a⌋\lfloor a\rfloor for the integral part of a∈Qa\in\mathbb{Q}, let M‾g,n\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n} be the moduli space of stable curves, let ψi\psi_i be the cotangent-line classes, and let Cg,μq,r\mathrm{C}_{g,\mu}^{q,r} be the associated Chiodo classes. Zvonkine's qrqr-ELSV formula.

hg;μ∘,q,r=∏j=1n(μjqr)⌊μjqr⌋⌊μjqr⌋!×(qr)2g−2+n+(2g−2+n)q+∣μ∣qrq2g−2+n×∫M‾g,nCg,μq,r∏j=1n(1−μiqrψi).h_{g;\mu}^{\circ,q,r}=\prod_{j=1}^n\frac{\left(\frac{\mu_j}{qr}\right)^{\left\lfloor\frac{\mu_j}{qr}\right\rfloor}}{\left\lfloor\frac{\mu_j}{qr}\right\rfloor!}\times\frac{(qr)^{2g-2+n+\frac{(2g-2+n)q+|\mu|}{qr}}}{q^{2g-2+n}}\times\int_{\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}}\frac{\mathrm{C}_{g,\mu}^{q,r}}{\prod_{j=1}^n\left(1-\frac{\mu_i}{qr}\psi_i\right)}.

This formula generalizes the ELSV formula for simple Hurwitz numbers and the Johnson–Pandharipande–Tseng formula for orbifold Hurwitz numbers. It was conjectural in the cited work and is presented here as a recalled conjecture; the paper proves only special cases of the broader orbifold formula.
