KP hierarchy for Hurwitz-type cohomological field theories

We generalise a result of Kazarian regarding Kadomtsev–Petviashvili integrability for single Hodge integrals to general cohomological field theories related to Hurwitz-type counting problems or hypergeometric tau‑functions. The proof uses recent results on the relations between hypergeometric tau-functions and topological recursion, as well as the DOSS correspondence between topological recursion and cohomological field theories. As a particular case, we recover the result of Alexandrov of KP integrability for triple Hodge integrals with a Calabi–Yau condition.
