On gluing a surface of genus g from two and three polygons

Abstract

In this paper the number of ways to glue together several polygons into a surface of genus g has been investigated. We've given an elementary proof on the formula for the generating function Cg[2](z) of the number of gluings surface of genus g from two polygons (see also [4]). Moreover, we've proven a similar formula for gluings surface of genus g from three polygons. As a corollary, we've proven a direct formula for the number of gluings torus from three polygons.
