Ramified Coverings of S2 with One Degenerate Branching Point and Enumeration of Edge-ordered Graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
In this short note we extend the results of Lyashko, Looijenga, and Arnold on the number of nonequivalent rational functions on the sphere with 1 or 2 poles and simple nite branching points to several other cases. In particular, we calculate the number of meromorphic functions on the torus with the same properties.

ON THE EDGE COVER POLYNOMIAL OF CERTAIN GRAPHS
Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$ and size $m$.The edge covering of $G$ is a set of edges such that every vertex of $G$ is incident to at least one edge of the set. The edge cover polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial$E(G,x)=sum_{i=rho(G)}^{m} e(G,i) x^{i}$,where $e(G,i)$ is the number of edge coverings of $G$ of size $i$, and$rho(G)$ is the edge covering number of $G$. In this paper we stud...
متن کاملOn the reliability wiener number
One of the generalizations of the Wiener number to weighted graphs is to assign probabilities to edges, meaning that in nonstatic conditions the edge is present only with some probability. The Reliability Wiener number is defined as the sum of reliabilities among pairs of vertices, where the reliability of a pair is the reliability of the most reliable path. Closed expressions are derived for t...
متن کاملEnumeration of ramified coverings of the sphere and 2-dimensional gravity
Let A be the algebra generated by the power series ∑nn−1qn/n! and ∑ nnqn/n! . We prove that many natural generating functions lie in this algebra: those appearing in graph enumeration problems, in the intersection theory of moduli spaces Mg,n and in the enumeration of ramified coverings of the sphere. We argue that ramified coverings of the sphere with a large number of sheets provide a model o...
متن کاملOn Hurwitz Numbers and Hodge Integrals
In this paper we find an explicit formula for the number of topologically different ramified coverings C → CP 1 (C is a compact Riemann surface of genus g) with only one complicated branching point in terms of Hodge integrals over the moduli space of genus g curves with marked points.
متن کاملA Proof of a Conjecture for the Number of Ramified Coverings of the Sphere by the Torus
Let X be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus g"0. A ramified covering of S of degree n by X is a non-constant meromorphic function f : X!S such that | f (q)|=n for all but a finite number of points q # S, which are called branch points. Two ramified coverings f1 and f2 of S by X are said to be equivalent if there is a homeomorphism ? : X!X such that f1= f2 b?. A ramified covering f is ...
