Abstract

Let ℳn,k(S) be the set of n-edge k-vertex rooted maps in some class on the surface S. Let P be a planar map in the class. We develop a method for showing that almost all maps in ℳn,k(S) contain many copies of P. One consequence of this is that almost all maps in ℳn,k(S) have no symmetries. The classes considered include c-connected maps (c ≤ 3) and certain families of degree restricted maps.
