We show that the signed counts of normalized real polynomials, as defined by Itenberg and Zvonkine, provide the signed counts of genus zero real ramified coverings of the Riemann sphere with a point of total ramification and several other…
We consider the problem of defining and computing real analogs of polynomial Hurwitz numbers, in other words, the problem of counting properly normalized real polynomials with fixed ramification profiles over real branch points. We show…
We present a study of real Hurwitz numbers enumerating a special kind of real meromorphic functions, which we call simple framed purely real functions. We deduce partial differential equations of cut-and-join type for generating functions…
In this paper, we enumerate with signs the holomorphic maps between Real Riemann surfaces. We relate the signs and the numbers obtained to the Real Gromov-Witten theory of the target. For a finite group $G$ with a non-trivial morphism to…
We study the structures of ordinary simple Hurwitz numbers and monotone Hurwitz numbers with varying genus. More precisely, we prove that when the ramification type is fixed and the genus is treated as a variable, the connected monotone…
Hurwitz theory provides a large variety of enumerative problems related to algebraic geometry, mathematical physics, and combinatorics. We give a general framework to approach the large genus asymptotics of Hurwitz theory using only…
In this paper, we study a certain type of Hurwitz numbers which count branched covers over the Riemann sphere admitting several branch points with fixed ramification types, one branch point with a fixed number of preimages, and one branch…
Hurwitz numbers enumerate ramified coverings of the Riemann sphere with fixed ramification data. Certain kinds of ramification data are of particular interest, such as double Hurwitz numbers, which count covers with fixed arbitrary…
Hurwitz numbers count ramified genus $g$, degree $d$ coverings of the projective line with with fixed branch locus and fixed ramification data. Double Hurwitz numbers count such covers, where we fix two special profiles over $0$ and…
For real toric surfaces and conjugation invariant point conditions with all conjugate pairs on the boundary divisors, we prove that the signed count of real curves of arbitrary genus in the linear system through the given points is…
The Hurwitz space is a compactification of the space of rational functions of a given degree. We study the intersection of various strata of this space with its boundary. A study of the cohomology ring of the Hurwitz space then allows us to…
In 1891, Hurwitz introduced the enumeration of genus $g$, degree $d$, branched covers of the Riemann sphere with simple ramification over prescribed points and no branching elsewhere. He showed that for fixed degree $d$, the enumeration…
In the Hurwitz space of rational functions on CP^1 with poles of given orders, we study the loci of multisingularities, that is, the loci of functions with a given ramification profile over 0. We prove a recursion relation on the Poincare…
This is the second of two papers on the uniform asymptotics for real double Hurwitz numbers with triple ramification. Using the modified tropical correspondence theorem established in the first paper of this series, we introduce a…
We define a signed count of real rational pseudo-holomorphic curves appearing in a one-parameter family of real Spin symplectic K3 surfaces. We show that this count is an invariant of the deformation class of the family. In the case of a…
Enumerating ramified coverings of the sphere with fixed ramification types is a well-known problem first considered by A. Hurwitz. Up to now, explicit solutions have been obtained only for some families of ramified coverings, for instant,…
A generalization of Hurwitz stable polynomials to real rational functions is considered. We establishe an analogue of the Hurwitz stability criterion for rational functions and introduce a new type of determinants that can be treated as a…
This manuscript studies a special case of the Hurwitz enumeration problem: for branched covers from genus g compact Riemann surface to the Riemann sphere, with three branch points, and require the branching data at one of the branch points…
We prove that the signed counting (with respect to the parity of the ``$\operatorname{inv}$'' statistic) of partition matrices equals the cardinality of a subclass of inversion sequences. In the course of establishing this result, we…
We study the minimal number of ramified primes in Galois extensions of rational function fields over finite fields with prescribed finite Galois group. In particular, we obtain a general conjecture in analogy with the well studied case of…
