Abstract: Let $S$ be a connected closed oriented surface of genus $g$. Given a triangulation (resp. quadrangulation) of $S$, define the index of each of its vertices to be the number of edges originating from this vertex minus $6$ (resp. minus $4$). Call the set of integers recording the non-zero indices the profile of the triangulation (resp. quadrangulation). If $kappa$ is a profile for triangulations (resp. quadrangulations) of $S$, for any $minmathbb{Z}_{>0}$, denote by $mathscrT(kappa,m)$ (resp. $mathscrQ(kappa,m)$) the set of (equivalence classes of) triangulations (resp. quadrangulations) with profile $kappa$ which contain at most $m$ triangles (resp. squares). In this paper, we will show that if $kappa$ is a profile for triangulations (resp. for quadrangulations) of $S$ such that none of the indices in $kappa$ is divisible by $6$ (resp. by $4$), then $mathscrT(kappa,m)sim{c}_3(kappa)m^{2g+|kappa|-2}$ (resp. $mathscrQ(kappa,m)sim{c}_4(kappa)m^{2g+|kappa|-2}$), where $c_3(kappa)inmathbbQcdot(sqrt3pi{)}^{2g+|kappa|-2}$ and $c_4(kappa)inmathbbQcdotp{i}^{2g+|kappa|-2}$. The key ingredient of the proof is a result of J. Koll'ar on the link between the curvature of the Hogde metric on vector subbundles of a variation of Hodge structure over algebraic varieties, and Chern classes of their extensions. By the same method, we also obtain the rationality (up to some power of $pi$) of the Masur-Veech volume of arithmetic affine submanifolds of translation surfaces that are transverse to the kernel foliation.
