%N A035309 Triangle read by rows giving number of ways to glue sides of a 2n-gon 
               so as to produce a surface of genus g.
%C A035309 a(n,g) is also the number of unicellular (i.e. 1-faced) rooted maps of 
               genus g with n edges. #(vertices)=n-2g+1. Dually, this is the number 
               of 1-vertex maps. Catalan(n)=A000108(n) divides a(n,g)2^g.
%C A035309 From Akhmedov and Shakirov's abstract: By pairwise gluing of sides of 
               a polygon, one produces two-dimensional surfaces with handles and 
               boundaries. We give the number N_{g,L}(n_1, n_2, ..., n_L) of different 
               ways to produce a surface of given genus g with $L$ polygonal boundaries 
               with given numbers of sides n_1, n_2, >..., n_L. Using combinatorial 
               relations between graphs on real two-dimensional surfaces, we derive 
               recursive relations between N_{g,L}. We show that Harer-Zagier numbers 
               appear as a particular case of N_{g,L} and derive a new explicit 
               expression for them. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com),

%F A035309 Let c be number of cycles that appear in product of a (2n)-cycle and 
               a product of n disjoint transpositions; genus is g = (n-c+1)/2
%F A035309 The Harer-Zagier formula: 1+2Sum_{g>=0}Sum_{n>=2g}a(n,g)x^{n+1}y^{n-2g+1}/
               (2n-1)!!=(1+x/(1-x))^y. Equivalently, for n>=0, Sum_{0<=g<=floor(n/
               2)}a(n,g)y^{n-2g+1}=(2n-1)!!Sum_{0<=k<=n}2^kC(n,k)C(y,k+1). (n+2)a(n+1,
               g)=(4n+2)a(n,g)+(4n^3-n)a(n-1,g-1) for n,g>0, a(0,0)=1 and a(0,g)=0 
               for g>0.
