The Laplace-transform conjecture for the J-function

Let C=(Σ,x,y)\mathcal C=(\Sigma,x,y) be a spectral curve and let γΣb\gamma\subset\Sigma\setminus{\bf b} be an admissible path associated with ex/ue^{-x/\mathfrak u}. Let η\eta be the CohFT pairing, let Φ(γ,u)\Phi(\gamma,-\mathfrak u) be the class associated with γ\gamma, and let SS^* be the dual calibration operator. Laplace-transform conjecture. There exists a ν\nu-vector ν(u)\nu(\mathfrak u) such that the J-function J(u)=uS(u)ν(u)J(-\mathfrak u)=-\mathfrak u S^*(-\mathfrak u)\nu(\mathfrak u) satisfies

γex(z)/uy(z)dx(z)=η(J(u),Φ(γ,u)).\int_\gamma e^{-x(z)/\mathfrak u}y(z)\,dx(z)=-\eta\bigl(J(-\mathfrak u),\Phi(\gamma,-\mathfrak u)\bigr).

This conjecture identifies the spectral-curve one-point function with the geometric J-function through a Laplace transform. The paper checks it in the two examples studied, but does not establish it in general.
