ELSV-type formula conjecture for one-part double Hurwitz numbers
ELSV-type formula conjecture for one-part double Hurwitz numbers
For , , and , let be the one-part double Hurwitz number, let be its associated number of simple branch points, and suppose there is a moduli space with classes and . ELSV-type formula conjecture. For every such ,
where has a possibly virtual fundamental class of dimension , contains the stated Picard variety as an open subset, admits the stated forgetful morphisms and sections, its -classes satisfy the stated pullback and intersection relations, and the -classes are codimension- Chern classes of a self-dual rank- bundle with . The formula is verified in the source for genus and genus with the specified choices of compactified Picard spaces, but remains conjectural in general.
