Discrete group actions on orientable surfaces
The page about census of actions of discrete groups became too long, so I decided to move it into the separate sub-page dedicated to this topic only.
Edge-transitive maps on orientable surfaces
The webpage contains an original computational output based on the joint work by R. Nedela, J. Karabáš and M. Skyvová: the list of isomorphism classes of edge-transitive maps on the orientable surfaces of genus \( g > 1\).
Census of Quadrangle Group Inclusions
Actual version of census is 2.0. Last modification 1 August 2019. Note that the page is not responsive - shows ugly on small displays.
Archimedean maps
Here is the complete census of Archimedean maps of genera from two
to four. Presented data are based on the newest revision the paper
"Archimedean solids of higher genera" which I wrote with Roman
Nedela. BCK classification is the listing of classes of Archimedean
maps with regard to the paper "Two infinite families of Archimedean
maps of higher genera"*.
*the work was done in collaboration with Dept. of
Mathematics, University of Aveiro, Portugal
Please read the description of the format of the text form of catalogues presented here. The Magma internal format may be useful for people which may want to track the computations which led to the catalogues. The list of representalives of isomorphism classes is added. This list is more convenient for working with than the full output catalogue.

Enumeration of actions of cyclic groups on orientable surfaces
Thanks to e-mail communication with Timothy Walsh, Roman Nedela and Alexander Mednykh I decided to publish a long list of actions of cyclic groups on orientable surfaces. The result is of crucial importance in map and graph enumeration problems. The procedure for obtaining the result is quite simple. The classification procedure is based on a result of Harvey: "The maximal order \(n\) of a cyclic group acting over an orientable surface is bounded; \(n\leq 4g + 2\), where \(g\) is genus of the surface". Another important fact can be stated as: "The set of branch indexes of the respective orbifold should have the elimination property, if group acting on the surface is abelian". The elimination property reads as follows: \(\operatorname{LCM}(m_1,m_2,\ldots,m_r)\) of branch indexes \(m_1,m_2,\ldots,m_r\) equals \(\operatorname{LCM}(m_1,m_2,\ldots,m_{i-1},m_{i+1},\ldots,m_r)\) for every \(i\in 1\dots r\). The numbers of actions of a cyclic group \(\mathbb{Z}_n\) are determined in terms of an arithmetic function \(\operatorname{Epi}_0(\pi_1(\mathcal{O}), \mathbb{Z}_n)\) of order-preserving epimorphisms from a Fuchsian group \(\mathrm{F}(\gamma;m_1,m_2,\ldots,m_r)\cong \pi_1(\mathcal{O})\) onto a cyclic group \(\mathbb{Z}_n\). Combining these facts and employing (my) Magma program I have obtained useful tool and the list of actions of cyclic groups on surfaces of genera from 1 to 101 is included here. The program can be used for higher genera as well.
I have prepared the result in semi-colon separated form (raw ASCII text file). This list of coverings may be useful for direct use in computer; it is still human-readable. You can download the file here. The census formatted for reading is below. Be careful, documents may be quite long -- the last one has 4006 pages:)
