Abstract

We compute the number of (weak) equivalence classes of branched covers from a surface of genus g to the sphere, with 3 branching points, degree 2k, and local degrees over the branching points of the form (2,…,2), (2h+1,1,2,…,2), π=dii=1ℓ, for several values of g and h. We obtain explicit formulae of arithmetic nature in terms of the local degrees di. Our proofs employ a combinatorial method based on Grothendieck's dessins d'enfant.
