A bijection for nonorientable general maps

Abstract

We give a different presentation of a recent bijection due to Chapuy and Dol\k{e}ga for nonorientable bipartite quadrangulations and we extend it to the case of nonorientable general maps. This can be seen as a Bouttier--Di Francesco--Guitter-like generalization of the Cori--Vauquelin--Schaeffer bijection in the context of general nonorientable surfaces. In the particular case of triangulations, the encoding objects take a particularly simple form and this allows us to recover a famous asymptotic enumeration formula found by Gao.
