A proof of the Hodge universality conjecture at nonzero dispersion

Abstract: We prove that a scalar tau-symmetric Hamiltonian deformation of the Riemann hierarchy in generalized standard form is uniquely determined by the nonzero coefficient of $u_x<sup>2$ and the coefficients of $u_{xx}<sup>g$, $g\ge2$, in its first Hamiltonian density. This determines the original hierarchy up to normal Miura transformations. Combined with the construction of Hodge-class double ramification hierarchies by Buryak--Rossi, this establishes Hodge universality at nonzero dispersion.
