Symmetry of meromorphic differentials produced by involution identity, and relation to integer partitions
Alexander Hock, Sergey Shadrin, Raimar Wulkenhaar
TL;DR
This work proves that the meromorphic differentials $ω^{(0)}_n(z_1,...,z_n)$, defined recursively through an involution identity on multiple copies of $\mathbb{P}^1$, are symmetric in all their arguments. By analyzing poles at $z_1=\iota z_2$ and at ramification points $β_j$, the authors reduce the symmetry question to a pure combinatorial statement about integer partitions, Theorem conj main, which they prove using a detailed partition-based counting argument. The central result links analytic residue calculus and loop equations with a combinatorial identity involving multinomial coefficients of partitions, thereby underpinning symmetry and supporting blobbed topological recursion in this setting. The work also notes connections to quartic Kontsevich-type models and outlines avenues for extending the symmetry to genus-one objects $ω^{(1)}_n$ in future research.
Abstract
We prove that meromorphic differentials $ω^{(0)}_n(z_1,...,z_n)$ which are recursively generated by an involution identity are symmetric in all their arguments $z_1,...,z_n$. The proof involves an intriguing combinatorial identity between integer partitions into given number of parts.
