โฆ Synopsis
An explicit expression is obtained for the generating series for the number of ramified coverings of the sphere by the torus, with elementary branch points and prescribed ramification type over infinity. This proves a conjecture of Goulden, Jackson, and Vainshtein for the explicit number of such coverings.

The aim of this paper is to show that for any n ยฅ N, n > 3, there exist a, b ยฅ N\* such that n=a+b, the ''lengths'' of a and b having the same parity (see the text for the definition of the ''length'' of a natural number). Also we will show that for any n ยฅ N, n > 2, n ] 5, 10, there exist a, b ยฅ N\
Following [1] , we investigate the problem of covering a graph G with induced subgraphs G 1 ; . . . ; G k of possibly smaller chromatic number, but such that for every vertex u of G, the sum of reciprocals of the chromatic numbers of the G i 's containing u is at least 1. The existence of such ''ch
