Topological recursion for higher BGW tau-functions

From papers

Let mm be a positive integer, and let the irregular spectral curve be given by

(m+1)xym+1=1.(m+1)xy^{m+1}=1.

The higher BGW tau-functions are denoted by τ(m)\tau^{(m)}.

Higher BGW topological-recursion conjecture. The generating functions of the higher BGW models τ(m)\tau^{(m)} are given by a version of the Chekhov--Eynard--Orantin topological recursion on the irregular spectral curve (m+1)xym+1=1(m+1)xy^{m+1}=1, with parameters r=m+1r=m+1 and s=ms=m.

This identifies the higher BGW generating functions with topological-recursion invariants of the corresponding irregular spectral curve. The source attributes this description to a version of the recursion discussed by Borot, but the supplied text does not establish whether the statement is proved or remains conjectural.
