This generalizes the result for the planar case g=0, obtained by Gimenez and Noy. An analogous result for non-orientable surfaces is obtained. In addition, it is proved that several parameters of interest behave asymptotically as in the planar case. It follows, in particular, that a random graph embeddable in S_g has a unique 2-connected component of linear size with high probability.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-01-20T16:08:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "limit laws", "asymptotic enumeration", "fixed genus", "planar case", "exponential growth rate" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1001.3628C" } } }
