Query: Hypergeometric \tau-functions, Hurwitz numbers and enumeration of paths   A multiparametric family of 2D Toda $\tau$-functions of hypergeometric type
is shown to provide generating functions for composite, signed Hurwitz numbers
that enumerate certain classes of branched coverings of the Riemann sphere and
paths in the Cayley graph of $S_n$. The coefficients $F^{c_1, ..., c_l}_{d_1,
..., d_m}(\mu, \nu)$ in their series expansion over products $P_\mu P'_\nu$ of
power sum symmetric functions in the two sets of Toda flow parameters and
powers of the $l+m$ auxiliary parameters are shown to enumerate $|\mu|=|\nu|=n$
fold branched covers of the Riemann sphere with specified ramification profiles
$ \mu$ and $\nu$ at a pair of points, and two sets of additional branch paints,
satisfying certain additional conditions on their ramification profile lengths.
The first group consists of $l$ branch points, with ramification profile
lengths fixed to be the numbers $(n-c_1, ..., n- c_l)$; the second consists of
$m$ further groups of "coloured" branch points, of variable number, for which
the sums of the complements of the ramification profile lengths within the
groups are fixed to equal the numbers $(d_1, ..., d_m)$. The latter are counted
with sign determined by the parity of the total number of such branch points.
The coefficients $F^{c_1, ..., c_l}_{d_1, ..., d_m}(\mu, \nu)$ are also shown
to enumerate paths in the Cayley graph of the symmetric group $S_n$ generated
by transpositions, starting, as in the usual double Hurwitz case, at an element
in the conjugacy class of cycle type $\mu$ and ending in the class of type
$\nu$, but with the first $l$ consecutive subsequences of $(c_1, ..., c_l)$
transpositions strictly monotonically increasing, and the subsequent
subsequences of $(d_1, ..., d_m)$ transpositions weakly increasing.
