Counting unrooted maps on the plane

A planar map is a 2-cell embedding of a connected planar graph, loops and parallel edges allowed, on the sphere. A plane map is a planar map with a distinguished outside (“infinite”) face. An unrooted map is an equivalence class of maps under orientation-preserving homeomorphism, and a rooted map is a map with a distinguished oriented edge. Previously we obtained formulae for the number of unrooted planar n-edge maps of various classes, including all maps, non-separable maps, eulerian maps and loopless maps. In this article, using the same technique we obtain closed formulae for counting unrooted plane maps of all these classes and their duals. The corresponding formulae for rooted maps are known to be all sum-free; the formulae that we obtain for unrooted maps contain only a sum over the divisors of n. We count also unrooted two-vertex plane maps.

BISINGULAR MAPS ON SOME SURFACES

A map is bisingular if each edge is either a loop (This paper only considersplanar loop) or an isthmus (i.e., on the boundary of the same face). This paper studies thenumber of rooted bisingular maps on the sphere and the torus, and also presents formulaefor such maps with three parameters: the root-valency, the number of isthmus, and thenumber of planar loops.     

New bijective links on planar maps via orientations

This article presents new bijections on planar maps. At first a bijection is established between bipolar orientations on planar maps and specific “transversal structures” on triangulations of the 4-gon with no separating 3-cycle, which are called irreducible triangulations. This bijection specializes to a bijection between rooted non-separable maps and rooted irreducible triangulations. This yields in turn a bijection between rooted loopless maps and rooted triangulations, based on the observation that loopless maps and triangulations are decomposed in a similar way into components that are respectively non-separable maps and irreducible triangulations. This gives another bijective proof (after Wormald’s construction published in 1980) of the fact that rooted loopless maps with n edges are equinumerous to rooted triangulations with n inner vertices.     

Bisingular maps on the torus

A map is bisingular if each edge is either a loop or an isthmus (i.e., on the boundary of the same face). In this paper we study the number of rooted bisingular maps on the sphere and the torus, and we also present formula for such maps with four parameters: the root-valency,the number of isthmus, the number of planar loops and the number of essential loops.

A census of boundary cubic rooted planar maps

In this paper, boundary cubic rooted planar maps are investigated and exact enumerative formulae are given. First, an enumerative formula for boundary cubic inner-forest maps with the size (number of edges) as a parameter is derived. For the special case of boundary cubic inner-tree maps, a simple formula with two parameters is presented. Further, according to the duality, a corresponding result for outer-planar maps is obtained. Finally, some results for boundary cubic planar maps and general planar maps are obtained. Furthermore, two known Tutte's formulae are easily deduced in the paper.     

The structure of unicellular maps, and a connection between maps of positive genus and planar labelled trees

A unicellular map is a map which has only one face. We give a bijection between a dominant subset of rooted unicellular maps of given genus and a set of rooted plane trees with distinguished vertices. The bijection applies as well to the case of labelled unicellular maps, which are related to all rooted maps by Marcus and Schaeffer’s bijection. This gives an immediate derivation of the asymptotic number of unicellular maps of given genus, and a simple bijective proof of a formula of Lehman and Walsh on the number of triangulations with one vertex. From the labelled case, we deduce an expression of the asymptotic number of maps of genus g with n edges involving the ISE random measure, and an explicit characterization of the limiting profile and radius of random bipartite quadrangulations of genus g in terms of the ISE.     

Klein瓶上的奇异地图

It is well known that singular maps (i. e. ,those have only one face on a surface)play a key role in the theory of up-embeddability of graphs. In this paper the number of rooted singular maps on the Klein bottle is studied. An explicit form of the enumerating function according to the root-valency and the size of the map is determined. Further ,an expression of the vertex partition function is also found.     

Enumerative Properties of Rooted Circuit Maps

In 1966, Barnette introduced a set of graphs, called circuit graphs, which are obtained from 3-connected planar graphs by deleting a vertex. Circuit graphs and 3-connected planar graphs share many interesting properties which are not satisfied by general 2-connected planar graphs. Circuit graphs have nice closure properties which make them easier to deal with than 3-connected planar graphs for studying some graph-theoretic properties. In this paper, we study some enumerative properties of circuit graphs. For enumeration purpose, we define rooted circuit maps and compare the number of rooted circuit maps with those of rooted 2-connected planar maps and rooted 3-connected planar maps.     

Counting rooted maps by Genus. I

Using a combinatorial equivalent for maps, we take the first census of maps on orientable surfaces of arbitrary genus. We generalize to higher genus Tutte's recursion formula for counting slicings, and thus obtain an algorithm for counting rooted maps by genus, number of edges, and number of vertices. We then solve a special case of this recursion formula, to count slicngs with one face by genus. This leads to an explicit formula which counts rooted maps with one face by genus and number of edges.     

Enumeration on Nonseparable Planar Maps

This paper provides some functional equations satisfied by the generating functions for nonseparable rooted planar maps with the valency of root-vertex, the number of edges and the valency of root-faces of the maps as three parameters. But the solutions of these equations can only be obtained indirectly by considering some relations between nonseparable and general rooted planar maps. One of them is an answer to the open problem 6.1 in Liu (1983, Comb. Optim. CORR83-26, University of Waterloo).     

Enumeration of rooted planar halin maps

A Halin map is a kind of planar maps oriented by a tree. In this paper the rooted halin maps with the vertex partition as parameters are enumerated such that a famous result on rooted trees due to Harary. Prins, and Tutte is deduced as. a special ease. Further, by using Lagrangian inversion to obtain a number of summation free formulae dixectly, the various kinds of rooted Halin maps with up to three parameters have been counted.     

Dichromatic Polynomials and Potts Models Summed Over Rooted Maps

We consider the sum of dichromatic polynomials over non-separable rooted planar maps, an interesting special case of which is the enumeration of such maps. We present some known results and derive new ones. The general problem is equivalent to the q-state Potts model randomized over such maps: it remains an open question whether this model exhibits a phase transition or critical behaviour.

Planar embeddings with infinite faces

We investigate vertex‐transitive graphs that admit planar embeddings having infinite faces, i.e., faces whose boundary is a double ray. In the case of graphs with connectivity exactly 2, we present examples wherein no face is finite. In particular, the planar embeddings of the Cartesian product of the r‐valent tree with K₂ are comprehensively studied and enumerated, as are the automorphisms of the resulting maps, and it is shown for r = 3 that no vertex‐transitive group of graph automorphisms is extendable to a group of homeomorphisms of the plane. We present all known families of infinite, locally finite, vertex‐transitive graphs of connectivity 3 and an infinite family of 4‐connected graphs that admit planar embeddings wherein each vertex is incident with an infinite face. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
