Refined BPS formula for hypergeometric-type spectral curves

Let Sμ=(Σ,x,y,D(μ))\mathcal{S}^{\bm\mu}=(\overline{\Sigma},x,y,D(\bm\mu)) be a refined spectral curve of hypergeometric type. Let (Γ,Z,Ω)(\Gamma,Z,\Omega) be its corresponding refined BPS structure, let \lower0.55ex\text{\mathchar'26}\mkern-11.5mu Z be the quantum correction to the central charge, and let Ωn(γ)\Omega_n(\gamma) denote the coefficient of tnt^n in Ω(γ)\Omega(\gamma). For the double Bernoulli polynomial B2,2gB_{2,2g}, define

B2,2g[n](γ):=B2,2g(Q2+\lower0.55ex\mathchar26Z(γ)2πi+nQ2β12,β12).\mathsf{B}_{2,2g}^{[n]}(\gamma):=B_{2,2g}\left(\frac{\mathscr{Q}}{2}+\frac{\lower0.55ex\text{$\mathchar'26$}\mkern-11.5mu Z(\gamma)}{2\pi i}+n\frac{\mathscr{Q}}{2}\,\Big|\,\beta^{\frac{1}{2}},-\beta^{-\frac{1}{2}}\right).

Refined BPS free-energy conjecture. The refined topological recursion free energy satisfies

Fg=(1)2g2γΓnZB2,2g[n](γ)4g(2g1)(2g2)Ωn(γ)(2πiZ(γ))2g2.F_g=(-1)^{2g-2}\sum_{\gamma\in\Gamma}\sum_{n\in\mathbb{Z}}\frac{\mathsf{B}_{2,2g}^{[n]}(\gamma)}{4g(2g-1)(2g-2)}\Omega_n(\gamma)\left(\frac{2\pi i}{Z(\gamma)}\right)^{2g-2}.

This extends the formula proved in the paper for the Weber, Whittaker, degenerate Bessel, and Airy refined spectral curves to the remaining hypergeometric-type curves. The authors note that technical difficulties arise from second-order poles and that only finite-order computations are currently available in these examples, so the claim remains open.
