The universal formula conjecture for the x-y swap in topological recursion

From papers

Let g0g\geq 0 and n1n\geq 1. Let ω0,n(g)\omega^{(g)}_{0,n} be the nn-differentials associated with the original variables, let ωm,0(h)\omega^{(h)}_{m,0} denote the corresponding differentials with mm arguments, and let xi,yix_i,y_i be the paired variables. Write Exprg,n\mathsf{Expr}_{g,n} for the universal closed differential-algebraic expression in these differentials and in the forms dxi/xidx_i/x_i, dyi/yidy_i/y_i, and dxidxj/(xixj)2dx_i dx_j/(x_i-x_j)^2. Universal formula conjecture. For g0g\geq 0 and n1n\geq 1, one has

ω0,n(g)=Exprg,n({ωm,0(h)}2h2+m2g2+n,{dxixi,dyiyi}i=1,,n,{dxidxj(xixj)2}i,j=1,,nij).\omega^{(g)}_{0,n}=\mathsf{Expr}_{g,n}\Big(\big\{\omega^{(h)}_{m,0}\big\}_{2h-2+m\leq 2g-2+n},\Big\{\frac{dx_i}{x_i},\frac{dy_i}{y_i}\Big\}_{i=1,\dots,n},\Big\{\frac{dx_i dx_j}{(x_i-x_j)^2}\Big\}_{\substack{i,j=1,\dots,n\\ i\ne j}}\Big).

The conjecture seeks an explicit universal expression for the xx-yy swap in topological recursion. The surrounding discussion states that related universal expressions exist and are used in enumerative geometry, matrix models, and free probability, while the particular expression is presented as not yet explicitly available.
