Lee's spin Gromov–Witten/Hurwitz correspondence

Let (B,ϑ)(B,\vartheta) be a spin curve, let g,dg,d be integers, and let k1,,knk_1,\ldots,k_n satisfy

iki=g1+d(1g(B))+n.\sum_i k_i=g-1+d(1-g(B))+n.

Write ck=μ oddκk,μμ\overline{c}_k=\sum_{\mu\ \textup{odd}}\kappa_{k,\mu}\cdot\mu for the spin completed cycle, let Hd(B,ϑ;μ1,,μn)H_d(B,\vartheta;\mu^1,\ldots,\mu^n) denote the spin Hurwitz number, and define the stationary spin Gromov–Witten invariants by

τk1τkng,dB,ϑ=[Mg,n(B,d)]loc,ϑi=1nψikievi(ω),\left\langle \tau_{k_1}\cdots\tau_{k_n}\right\rangle_{g,d}^{B,\vartheta}=\int_{[\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}(B,d)]^{{\rm loc},\vartheta}}\prod_{i=1}^n\psi_i^{k_i}\operatorname{ev}_i^*(\omega),

where ωH2(P1,Z)\omega\in H^2(\mathbb{P}^1,\mathbb{Z}) is the class of a point. Spin GW/H correspondence. For all such data,

τk1τkng,dB,ϑ=Hd(B,ϑ;(1)k1k1!(2k1)!c2k1+1,,(1)knkn!(2kn)!c2kn+1),\left\langle \tau_{k_1}\cdots\tau_{k_n}\right\rangle_{g,d}^{B,\vartheta}=H_d\left(B,\vartheta;\frac{(-1)^{k_1}k_1!}{(2k_1)!}\overline{c}_{2k_1+1},\ldots,\frac{(-1)^{k_n}k_n!}{(2k_n)!}\overline{c}_{2k_n+1}\right),

with HdH_d extended by linearity. The conjecture generalises earlier conjectures of Maulik–Pandharipande; it is known for (B,ϑ)=(P1,O(1))(B,\vartheta)=(\mathbb{P}^1,\mathcal{O}(-1)), while the general correspondence remains open.
