Asymptotic Enumeration of Labelled Graphs by Genus

Abstract

We obtain asymptotic formulas for the number of rooted 2-connected and 3-connected surface maps on an orientable surface of genus $g$ with respect to vertices and edges simultaneously. We also derive the bivariate version of the large face-width result for random 3-connected maps. These results are then used to derive asymptotic formulas for the number of labelled $k$-connected graphs of orientable genus $g$ for $k\le3$.
