Abstract

We investigate properties of a multivariate function E (m1, m2, …, mr), called orbicyclic, that arises in enumerative combinatorics in counting non-isomorphic maps on orientable surfaces. E(m1, m2, …, mr) proves to be multiplicative, and a simple formula for its calculation is provided. It is shown that the necessary and sufficient conditions for this function to vanish are equivalent to familiar Harvey's conditions that characterize possible branching data of finite cyclic automorphism groups of Riemann surfaces.
