Local limits of bipartite maps with prescribed face degrees in high genus

We study the local limits of uniform high genus bipartite maps with prescribed face degrees. We prove the convergence towards a family of infinite maps of the plane, the q-IBPMs, which exhibit both a spatial Markov property and a hyperbolic behaviour. Therefore, we observe a similar local behaviour for a wide class of models of random high genus maps, which can be seen as a result of universality. Our results cover all the regimes where the expected degree of the root face remains finite in the limit. This follows a work by the same authors on high genus triangulations arXiv:1902.00492.

A new family of bijections for planar maps

We present bijections for the planar cases of two counting formulas on maps that arise from the KP hierarchy (Goulden-Jackson and Carrell-Chapuy formulas), relying on a "cut-and-slide" operation. This is the first time a bijective proof is given for quadratic map-counting formulas derived from the KP hierarchy. Up to now, only the linear one-faced case was known (Harer-Zagier recurrence and Chapuy-Féray-Fusy bijection). As far as we know, this bijection is new and not equivalent to any of the well-known bijections between planar maps and tree-like objects.

Simple formulas for constellations and bipartite maps with prescribed degrees

We obtain simple quadratic recurrence formulas counting bipartite maps on surfaces with prescribed degrees (in particular, $2k$-angulations), and constellations. These formulas are the fastest known way of computing these numbers. Our work is a natural extension of previous works on integrable hierarchies (2-Toda and KP), namely the Pandharipande recursion for Hurwitz numbers (proven by Okounkov and simplified by Dubrovin-Yang-Zagier), as well as formulas for several models of maps (Goulden-Jackson, Carrell-Chapuy, Kazarian-Zograf). As for those formulas, a bijective interpretation is still to be found. We also include a formula for monotone simple Hurwitz numbers derived in the same fashion. These formulas also play a key role in subsequent work of the author with T. Budzinski establishing the hyperbolic local limit of random bipartite maps of large genus.
