Abstract
We formulate geometrically (without reference to physical models) a refined topological recursion applicable to genus zero curves of degree two, inspired by Chekhov-Eynard and Marchal, introducing new degrees of freedom in the process. For such curves, we prove the fundamental properties of the recursion analogous to the unrefined case. We show the quantization of spectral curves due to Iwaki-Koike-Takei can be generalized to this setting and give the explicit formula, which turns out to be related to the unrefined case by a simple transformation. For an important collection of examples, we write down the quantum curves and find that in the Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit, they take an especially simple form.
