On framed simple purely real Hurwitz numbers

arXiv:1809.04340

Abstract

We present a study of real Hurwitz numbers enumerating a special kind of real meromorphic functions, which we call simple framed purely real functions. We deduce partial differential equations of cut-and-join type for generating functions for these numbers. We also construct a topological field theory for them.
