Hock's x-y swap conjecture for rational spectral curves

About 3 years old · traced to

Let Σ=CP1\Sigma=\mathbb{C}\mathrm{P}^1. In Case 1, let y(z)=zy(z)=z be a global affine coordinate and let x=log⁡R(z)+Azx=\log R(z)+Az, where R(z)R(z) is a rational function and A∈CA\in\mathbb{C}. In Case 2, let y(z)=log⁡zy(z)=\log z, where zz is a global affine coordinate, and let x=log⁡R(z)x=\log R(z), with R(z)R(z) again rational. Assume that all zeros of dxdx are simple. Define the dual system formally by

∑g=0∞ℏ2gω1∨,(g)=−dy(z)1S(ℏ∂y(z))x(z),\sum_{g=0}^\infty \hbar^{2g}\omega^{\vee,(g)}_{1}=-dy(z)\frac{1}{\mathcal{S}(\hbar\partial_{y(z)})}x(z),

and

ωn∨,(g)=0\omega^{\vee,(g)}_n=0

for g≥0g\geq 0, n≥2n\geq 2, and 2g−2+n>02g-2+n>0. Hock's x-y swap conjecture. The correlation differentials {ωn(g)}\{\omega^{(g)}_n\} can be obtained by the x−yx-y swap relation from this dual system of differentials. This conjecture proposes a general x-y swap description for these rational spectral curves; its resolution is not specified in the source.
