Counting Feynman-like graphs: quasimodularity and Siegel-Veech weight (Q2302429)

Summary: We prove the quasimodularity of generating functions for counting torus covers, with and without Siegel-Veech weight. Our proof is based on analyzing decompositions of flat surfaces into horizontal cylinders. The quasimodularity arises from representing the generating series as a contour integral of quasi-elliptic functions. This provides an alternative proof of the quasimodularity results of \textit{S. Bloch} and \textit{A. Okounkov} [Adv. Math. 149, No. 1, 1--60 (2000; Zbl 0978.17016)], \textit{A. Eskin} and \textit{A. Okounkov} [Invent. Math. 145, No. 1, 59--103 (2001; Zbl 1019.32014)] and \textit{D. Chen} et al. [J. Am. Math. Soc. 31, No. 4, 1059--1163 (2018; Zbl 1404.32025)], and generalizes the results of \textit{J. Böhm} et al. [J. Reine Angew. Math. 732, 211--246 (2017; Zbl 1390.14191)] for simple ramification covers.
