The R-invariance conjecture for tautological equations

Let iciΓi=0\sum_i c_i\Gamma_i=0 be a tautological equation in codimension kk on Mg,n\overline{M}_{g,n}, and let rl\mathfrak{r}_l be the operators sending decorated graphs on Mg,n\overline{M}_{g,n} to decorated graphs on Mg1,n+2\overline{M}^{\bullet}_{g-1,n+2} as defined above. R-invariance conjecture. For all ll, the equation

rl(iciΓi)=0\mathfrak{r}_l\left(\sum_i c_i\Gamma_i\right)=0

holds modulo the tautological equations for pairs (g,n)(g',n') with g<gg'<g, or with g=gg'=g and n<nn'<n. These equations are intended to descend from decorated graphs to tautological classes and are related to Gromov--Witten theory; the source notes that a proof is expected in subsequent work.
