We prove that a generalisation of simple Hurwitz numbers due to Johnson, Pandharipande and Tseng satisfy the topological recursion of Eynard and Orantin. This generalises the Bouchard-Marino conjecture and places Hurwitz-Hodge integrals, which arise in the Gromov--Witten theory of target curves with orbifold structure, in the context of the Eynard-Orantin topological recursion.

Mirror symmetry for orbifold Hurwitz numbers
• Mathematics
• 2013
We study mirror symmetry for orbifold Hurwitz numbers. We show that the Laplace transform of orbifold Hurwitz numbers satisfy a dierential recursion, which is then proved to be equivalent to the
Polynomiality of orbifold Hurwitz numbers, spectral curve, and a new proof of the Johnson–Pandharipande–Tseng formula
• Mathematics
J. Lond. Math. Soc.
• 2015
For orbifold Hurwitz numbers, a new proof of the spectral curve topological recursion is given in the sense of Chekhov, Eynard and Orantin, where the main new step compared to the existing proofs is a direct combinatorial proof of their quasi-polynomiality.
Monotone Orbifold Hurwitz Numbers

In general, the Hurwitz numbers count the branched covers of the Riemann sphere with prescribed ramification data or, equivalently, the factorizations of a permutation with prescribed cycle structure

We study the connection between the Eynard-Orantin topological recursion and quantum curves for the family of genus one spectral curves given by the Weierstrass equation. We construct quantizations
The spectral curve and the Schrödinger equation of double Hurwitz numbers and higher spin structures

We derive the spectral curves for q-part double Hurwitz numbers, r-spin simple Hurwitz numbers, and arbitrary combinations of these cases, from the analysis of the unstable (0, 1)-geometry. We

In this paper, we present some Hurwitz-Hodge integral identities which are derived from the Laplace transformation of the cut-and-join equation for the orbifold Hurwitz numbers. As an application, we

• Mathematics
• 2016
We prove quasi-polynomiality for monotone and strictly monotone orbifold Hurwitz numbers. The second enumerative problem is also known as enumeration of a special kind of Grothendieck's dessins
