Quasi-polynomiality and $N$-point functions of single connected leaky completed Hurwitz numbers

Abstract

In this paper, we study the structures of single connected $k$-leaky $(r+1)$-completed Hurwitz numbers. We first prove that, for fixed genus, after extracting an explicit product of Pochhammer type factors, the stable connected leaky Hurwitz numbers for partition $μ$ are polynomials in the quotients $[μ_i]$ modulo $k+r$. We then give a closed formula for the generating function of single connected leaky Hurwitz numbers, which can be used to study the genus dependence of leaky Hurwitz numbers.
