The conjectural Joyce structure from isomonodromic connections

Let MM be the moduli space of pairs (C,Q0)(C,Q_0), let O=O(g,m)\mathcal O=\mathcal O(g,m) be the space of data (C,Q0,Q1,Q2)(C,Q_0,Q_1,Q_2) described above, and let X#X^\# be the space equipped with the map α ⁣:OX#\alpha\colon\mathcal O\to X^\# and projection π ⁣:X#M\pi\colon X^\#\to M. For each ϵC\epsilon\in\mathbb C^*, consider the projective-structure equation with parameter ϵ\epsilon and its generalised monodromy. Joyce-structure conjecture. (i) For each ϵC\epsilon\in\mathbb C^*, there is a flat, meromorphic connection gϵg_\epsilon on π ⁣:OM\pi\colon\mathcal O\to M whose leaves define deformations of the projective structure with constant generalised monodromy. (ii) There exist meromorphic connections hϵh_\epsilon on π ⁣:X#M\pi\colon X^\#\to M whose pullbacks via α ⁣:OX#\alpha\colon\mathcal O\to X^\# are the connections gϵg_\epsilon from (i). (iii) There is a meromorphic Joyce structure on MM obtained by combining the period structure and symplectic form on MM with the connections hϵh_\epsilon from (ii). The existence of the isomonodromy connections gϵg_\epsilon had not yet been established in the literature, so these assertions formulate the conjectural construction of the Joyce structure.
