The BKMP conjecture (2006–2008) proposed a new method to compute closed and open Gromov–Witten invariants for every toric Calabi–Yau 3-folds, through a topological recursion based on mirror symmetry. So far, this conjecture has been verified to low genus for several toric CY3folds, and proved to all genus only for $${\mathbb{C}^3}$$C3. In this article we prove the general case. Our proof is based on the fact that both sides of the conjecture can be naturally written in terms of combinatorial…
