A subset EE of a metric space XX is said to be starlike-equivalent if it has a neighbourhood which is mapped homeomorphically into Rn\mathbb{R}^n for some nn, sending EE to a starlike set. A subset EXE\subset X is said to be recursively starlike-equivalent if it can be expressed as a finite nested union of closed s…

Harer and Zagier proved a recursion to enumerate gluings of a 2d2d-gon that result in an orientable genus gg surface, in their work on Euler characteristics of moduli spaces of curves. Analogous results have been discovered for other enumerative problems, so it is natural to pose the following question: how large is t…
