contents Using connections to random matrix theory and orthogonal polynomials, we develop a framework for obtaining explicit closed-form formulae for the number, $\mathscr{N}_{g}(2ν,j)$, of connected $2ν$-valent labeled graphs with $j$ vertices that can be embedded on a compact Riemann surface of minimal genus $g$. We also derive formulae for their two-legged counterparts $\mathcal{N}_{g}(2ν,j)$. Our method recovers the known explicit results for graphs embedded on the plane and the torus, and extends them to all genera $g \geq 2$. In earlier work, Ercolani, Lega, and Tippings (2023) showed that $\mathscr{N}_{g}(2ν,j)$ and $\mathcal{N}_{g}(2ν,j)$ admit structural expressions as linear combinations of, respectively, $3g-2$ and $3g$ Gauss hypergeometric functions ${}_2F_1$, but with coefficients left undetermined. The framework developed here provides a systematic procedure to compute these coefficients, thereby turning the structural expressions into fully explicit formulae for $\mathscr{N}_{g}(2ν,j)$ and $\mathcal{N}_{g}(2ν,j)$ as functions of both $j$ and $ν$. Detailed results are given for $g=2,3,$ and $4$, and the framework extends naturally to all $g \geq 5$ with increasing computational effort. This closes the fixed genus combinatorics for even-valent graphs.
