The m-KP integrability conjecture of topological recursion

Let C=(Σ,x,y)\mathcal C=(\Sigma,x,y) be a spectral curve with boundaries b={b1,,bm}{\bf b}=\{b_1,\ldots,b_m\}, and let Λ=(λ1,,λm)\Lambda=(\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_m) be local coordinates near the boundaries. Write g=g(Σ)\mathfrak g=\mathfrak g(\Sigma), and let Z(p;)Z({\bf p};\hbar) be the generating series of topological-recursion descendents. For g1\mathfrak g\geq 1, let Zμ,νNP(p;;w)Z^{\rm NP}_{\mu,\nu}({\bf p};\hbar;w) be its non-perturbative version. mm-KP integrability conjecture. If g=0\mathfrak g=0, then Z(p;)Z({\bf p};\hbar) is a tau-function of the mm-component KP hierarchy with KP times {pki/k}k1,1im\{p_k^i/k\}_{k\geq1,\,1\leq i\leq m}. If g1\mathfrak g\geq1, then Zμ,νNP(p;;w)Z^{\rm NP}_{\mu,\nu}({\bf p};\hbar;w) is a tau-function of the same hierarchy with those KP times. This is the integrability part of the proposed generalization of the Witten conjecture. The paper proves the integrability conjecture for one-boundary cases, but the general claim remains open.
