We use the conceptual idea of ''maps on orbifolds'' and the theory of the non-Euclidean crystallographic groups (NEC groups) to enumerate rooted and unrooted maps (both sensed and unsensed) on surfaces regardless of genus. As a consequence we deduce a formula for the number of chiral pairs of maps. The enumeration principle used in this paper is due to Mednykh (2006) [15], it counts the number of conjugacy classes of subgroups in NEC groups which are in one-to-one correspondence with unrooted (sensed or unsensed) maps. |
