We present bijections for planar maps with boundaries. In particular, we obtain bijections for triangulations and quadrangulations of the sphere with boundaries of prescribed lengths. For triangulations we recover the beautiful factorized formula obtained by Krikun using a (technically involved) generating function approach. The analogous formula for quadrangulations is new. Our method is to sh...

Independence between different edges of the square lattice is assumed, but nothing is assumed concerning the dependence between the two possible orientations at any given edge...
