Resum

Bousquet-Mélou and Schaeffer gave in 2000 a bijective enumeration of some planar maps called constellations. In 2019, Lepoutre described a bijection between bicolorable maps of arbitrary genus and some unicellular maps of the same genus. We present a bijection between constellations of higher genus and some unicellular maps that generalizes both existing bijections at the same time. Using this bijection, we manage to enumerate a subclass of constellations on the torus, proving that its generating function is a rational function of the generating function of some trees.
