Cutting orientable ribbon graphs

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: I study oriented metric ribbon graphs. I show that it's possible to decompose these graph in some canonical way by performing surgery along appropriate multi-curves. This result provide a recursion scheme for the volumes of the moduli space of 4−valent metric ribbon graphs which can be interpreted as an oriented version of the topological recursion. I give applications to counting dessins d'enfants in a particular case.
