In this paper we prove certain Hurwitz equivalence properties of $B_n$. In particular we prove that for $n=3$ every two Artin's factorizations of $\Delta _3 ^2$ of the form $H_{i_1} ... H_{i_6}, \quad F_{j_1} ... F_{j_6}$ (with $i_k, j_k…

We are motivated by cone spherical metrics on compact Riemann surfaces of positive genus to solve a special case of the Hurwitz problem. Precisely speaking, letting $d,\,g$ and $\ell$ be three positive integers and $\Lambda$ be the…

For a degree d self branched covering of the 2-sphere, a notable combinatorial invariant is an integer partition of 2d -- 2, consisting of the multiplicities of the critical points. A finer invariant is the so called Hurwitz passport. The…

We study random partitions $\lambda=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,...,\lambda_d)$ of $n$ whose length is not bigger than a fixed number $d$. Suppose a random partition $\lambda$ is distributed according to the Jack measure, which is a deformation of…

We study which integers are admissible as Fourier coefficients of even integer weight newforms. In the specific case of the tau-function, we show that for all odd primes $\ell < 100$ and all integers $m \geq 1$, we have $$ \tau(n) \neq \pm…

Branched covers between Riemann surfaces are associated with certain combinatorial data, and Hurwitz existence problem asks whether given data satisfying those combinatorial constraints can be realized by some branched cover. We connect…

Hurwitz spaces are moduli of isotopy classes of covers. A specific space is formed from a finite group G and C, r of its conjugacy classes and an equivalence relation \dagger. Components, interpret as a braid orbits on Nielsen classes.…

Hurwitz numbers count branched covers of the Riemann sphere with specified ramification, or equivalently, transitive permutation factorizations in the symmetric group with specified cycle types. Monotone Hurwitz numbers count a restricted…

In this paper we introduce a polynomial frame on the unit sphere $\sph$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$, for which every distribution has a wavelet-type decomposition. More importantly, we prove that many function spaces on the sphere $\sph$, such as…

In this note, we examine how the BKP structure of the generating series of several models of maps on non-oriented surfaces can be used to obtain explicit and/or efficient recurrence formulas for their enumeration according to the genus and…

Motivated by the problem of Hurwitz equivalence of $\Delta ^2$ factorization in the braid group, we address the problem of Hurwitz equivalence in the symmetric group, obtained by projecting the $\Delta ^2$ factorizations into $S_n$. We get…

We express the topological expansion of the Jacobi Unitary Ensemble in terms of triple monotone Hurwitz numbers. This completes the combinatorial interpretation of the topological expansion of the classical unitary invariant matrix…

Goulden and Jackson (1996) introduced, using Jack symmetric functions, some multivariate generating series $\psi(x, y, z; 1, 1+\beta)$ with an additional parameter $\beta$ that may be interpreted as a continuous deformation of the rooted…

The two-matrix model can be solved by introducing bi-orthogonal polynomials. In the case the potentials in the measure are polynomials, finite sequences of bi-orthogonal polynomials (called "windows") satisfy polynomial ODEs as well as…

We exhibit a generating function of spin Hurwitz numbers analogous to (disconnected) double Hurwitz numbers that is a tau function of the two-component BKP (2-BKP) hierarchy and is a square root of a tau function of the two-component KP…

We study multi-matrix models which may be viewed as integrals of products of tau functions which depend on the eigenvalues of products of random matrices. In the present paper we consider tau functions of the hierarchy the two-component KP…

In this paper, the authors investigate the case of discrete multiple orthogonal polynomials with two weights on the step line, which satisfy Pearson equations. The discrete multiple orthogonal polynomials in question are expressed in terms…

We introduce the generic Lah polynomials $L_{n,k}(\phi)$, which enumerate unordered forests of increasing ordered trees with a weight $\phi_i$ for each vertex with $i$ children. We show that, if the weight sequence $\phi$ is…

In the genus expansion of the HOMFLY polynomials their representation dependence is naturally captured by symmetric group characters. This immediately implies that the Ooguri-Vafa partition function (OVPF) is a Hurwitz tau-function. In the…

We extend the Marcus-Schaeffer bijection between orientable rooted bipartite quadrangulations (equivalently: rooted maps) and orientable labeled one-face maps to the case of all surfaces, that is orientable and non-orientable as well. This…
