Takahashi's higher-genus correspondence for relative invariants of (P2,E)(\mathbb P^2,E)

For every dZ>0d\in\mathbb Z_{>0}, let kZ>0k\in\mathbb Z_{>0} divide dd, and let Ng,dP2/E,kN_{g,d}^{\mathbb P^2/E,k} denote the higher-genus relative Gromov–Witten invariant associated with degree dd, genus gg, and contact class kk. Here \hbar is a formal variable, and the sums are taken in the formal power-series ring Q[ ⁣[] ⁣]\mathbb Q[\![\hbar]\!]. Takahashi's higher-genus conjecture. For every dZ>0d\in\mathbb Z_{>0} and kZ>0k\in\mathbb Z_{>0} dividing dd, one has

(1)d1g0Ng,dP2/E,k2g1=dZ1\kdd1d/d(1)d1g0Ng,dP2/E,d((d/d))2g1.(-1)^{d-1}\sum_{g\geqslant 0}N_{g,d}^{\mathbb P^2/E,k}\hbar^{2g-1}=\sum_{\substack{d'\in\mathbb Z_{\geqslant 1}\k|d'|d}}\frac{1}{d/d'}(-1)^{d'-1}\sum_{g\geqslant 0}N_{g,d'}^{\mathbb P^2/E,d'}((d/d')\hbar)^{2g-1}.

This is proposed as a higher-genus version of Takahashi's correspondence, relating relative Gromov–Witten invariants with different divisibility data. The source presents it as conjectural; no resolution is supplied in the given text.
