Abstract: We analyze Chiodo's formulas for the Chern classes related to the r-th roots of the suitably twisted integer powers of the canonical class on the moduli space of curves. The intersection numbers of these classes with psi-classes are reproduced via the Chekhov-Eynard-Orantin topological recursion. As an application, we prove that the Johnson-Pandharipande-Tseng formula for the orbifold Hurwitz numbers is equivalent to the topological recursion for the orbifold Hurwitz numbers. In particular, this gives a new proof of the topological recursion for the orbifold Hurwitz numbers.


\textit{D. Mumford} [Prog. Math. 36, 271--328 (1983; Zbl 0554.14008)] established a formula for the Chern character of the Hodge bundle on the moduli space of curves with \(n\) markings in terms of the tautological classes and Bernoulli numbers. \textit{A. Chiodo} [Compos. Math. 144, No. 6, 1461--1496 (2008; Zbl 1166.14018)] generalized Mumford's formula to the moduli spaces of curves with \(r\)th roots of suitably twisted powers of the canonical class. In this paper the authors analyze Chiodo's formula from the viewpoint of the topological recursion. In particular, they derive nice applications towards counting orbifold Hurwitz numbers.
