Uniform Unicellular Dessins d'Enfants with Trivial Automorphism Groups
Abstract
A Bely\uı function on a smooth projective algebraic curve defined over a number field determines a bipartite graph called a dessin d'enfant. We study the regularity and automorphism groups of dessins with uniform passports. In previous papers, we proved that every passport of the form [n,n,n], [n,bq,n], or [bq,bq,n] of genus at least $2$ admits a dessin with trivial automorphism group. In this paper, we prove the analogous result for passports of the form [ap,bq,n]. The proof is mainly based on a counting argument: we compare a lower bound for the number of permutation representations having the prescribed passport with an upper bound for the number admitting a nontrivial automorphism. Together with our previous results, this shows that every uniform unicellular passport of genus at least $2$ admits a dessin with trivial automorphism group.

AB - A Bely\uı function on a smooth projective algebraic curve defined over a number field determines a bipartite graph called a dessin d'enfant. We study the regularity and automorphism groups of dessins with uniform passports. In previous papers, we proved that every passport of the form [n,n,n], [n,b^q,n], or [b^q,b^q,n] of genus at least $2$ admits a dessin with trivial automorphism group. In this paper, we prove the analogous result for passports of the form [a^p,b^q,n]. The proof is mainly based on a counting argument: we compare a lower bound for the number of permutation representations having the prescribed passport with an upper bound for the number admitting a nontrivial automorphism. Together with our previous results, this shows that every uniform unicellular passport of genus at least $2$ admits a dessin with trivial automorphism group.
