Abstract

Let Wg,nW_{g,n} be the correlators computed by Topological Recursion for some given spectral curve (x,y)(x,y) and Wg,nW^\vee_{g,n} for (y,x)(y,x), where the role of x,yx,y is inverted. These two sets of correlators Wg,nW_{g,n} and Wg,nW^\vee_{g,n} are related by the xx-yy symplectic transformation. Bychkov, Dunin-Barkowski, Kazarian and Shadrin computed a functional relation between two slightly different sets of correlators. Together with Alexandrov, they proved that their functional relation is indeed the xx-yy symplectic transformation in Topological Recursion. This article provides a fairly simple formula directly between Wg,nW_{g,n} and Wg,nW^\vee_{g,n} which holds by their theorem for meromorphic xx and yy with simple and distinct ramification points. Due to the recent connection between free probability and fully simple vs ordinary maps, we conclude a simplified moment-cumulant relation for moments and higher order free cumulants.
