Enumeration of Hypermaps of a Given Genus

This paper addresses the enumeration of rooted and unrooted hypermaps of a given genus. For rooted hypermaps the enumeration method consists of considering the more general family of multirooted hypermaps, in which darts other than the root dart are distinguished. We give functional equations for the generating series counting multirooted hypermaps of a given genus by number of darts, vertices, edges, faces and the degrees of the vertices containing the distinguished darts. We solve these equations to get parametric expressions of the generating functions of rooted hypermaps of low genus. We also count unrooted hypermaps of given genus by number of darts, vertices, hyperedges and faces.

Constructing large tables of numbers of maps by orientable genus

The Carrell-Chapuy recurrence formulas dramatically improve the efficiency of counting orientable rooted maps by genus, either by number of edges alone or by number of edges and vertices. This paper presents an implementation of these formulas with three applications: the computation of an explicit rational expression for the ordinary generating functions of rooted map numbers with a given positive genus, the construction of large tables of rooted map numbers, and the use of these tables, together with the method of A. Mednykh and R. Nedela, to count unrooted maps by genus and number of edges and vertices.
