KP integrability through the $x-y$ swap relation

Mathematical Physics 2025-05-13 v3 High Energy Physics - Theory math.MP Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems

Abstract

We discuss a universal relation that we call the xyx-y swap relation, which plays a prominent role in the theory of topological recursion, Hurwitz theory, and free probability theory. We describe in a very precise and detailed way the interaction of the xyx-y swap relation and KP integrability. As an application, we prove a recent conjecture that relates some particular instances of topological recursion to the Mironov-Morozov-Semenoff matrix integrals.
