چکیده

The genus series for maps is the generating series for the number of rooted maps with a given number of vertices and faces of each degree, and a given number of edges. It captures topological information about surfaces, and appears in questions arising in statistical mechanics, topology, group rings, and certain aspects of free probability theory. An expression has been given previously for the genus series for maps in locally orientable surfaces in terms of zonal polynomials. The purpose of this paper is to derive an integral representation for the genus series. We then show how this can be used in conjunction with integration techniques to determine the genus series for monopoles in locally orientable surfaces. This complements the analogous result for monopoles in orientable surfaces previously obtained by Harer and Zagier. A conjecture, subsequently proved by Okounkov, is given for the evaluation of an expectation operator acting on the Jack symmetric function. It specialises to known results for Schur functions and zonal polynomials.

The Moduli Space of Maps with Crosscaps: Fredholm Theory and Orientability

Just as a symmetric surface with separating fixed locus halves into two oriented bordered surfaces, an arbitrary symmetric surface halves into two oriented symmetric halfsurfaces, i.e. surfaces with crosscaps. Motivated in part by the string theory view of real Gromov-Witten invariants, we introduce moduli spaces of maps from surfaces with crosscaps, develop the relevant Fredholm theory, and re...

Counting rooted maps on a surface

Several enumeration results are known about rooted maps on orientable surfaces, whereas rooted maps on non-orientable surfaces have seldom been studied. First, we unify both kind of maps, giving general functional equations for the generating series which counts rooted maps on any locally orientable surface, by number of vertices and faces. Then, we formally solve these equations, in order to e...

An Analogue of the Harer-zagier Formula for Unicellular Maps on General Surfaces

A unicellular map is the embedding of a connected graph in a surface in such a way that the complement of the graph is simply connected. In a famous article, Harer and Zagier established a formula for the generating function of unicellular maps counted according to the number of vertices and edges. The keystone of their approach is a counting formula for unicellular maps on orientable surfaces ...

Maps in Locally Orientable Surfaces, the Double Coset Algebra, and Zonal Polynomials

The genus series is the generating series for the number of maps (inequivalent two-cell embeddings of graphs), in locally orientable surfaces, closed and without boundary, with respect to vertexand face-degrees, number of edges and genus. A hypermap is a face two-colourable map. An expression for the genus series for (rooted) hypermaps is derived in terms of zonal polynomials by using a double ...
