Abstract

We derive a quadratic recursion relation for the linear Hodge integrals of the form $\langle \tau _{2}^{n}\lambda _{k}\rangle $ . These numbers are used in a formula for Masur-Veech volumes of moduli spaces of quadratic differentials discovered by Chen, Möller and Sauvaget. Therefore, our recursion provides an efficient way of computing these volumes.
