A formulation for the genus series for regular maps (Q1913994)

The generating series \(M(g, v, e, f)\) for a class of inequivalent 2-cell embeddings of graphs on a closed orientable surface of genus \(g\) with respect to the numbers \(v\), \(e\), \(f\) of vertices, edges and faces, respectively, is called the genus series for the class. The main result of this paper is an implicit formula for the genus series for regular maps as the constant term in a multivariable series.
