This problem aims to teach you the basics of Gerard 't Hooft's Planar Diagram Theory for Strong Interactions paper. To begin, look up the Feynman rules for a Yang-Mills Lagrangian and answer the following questions:
Now consider a scenario where we are computing a process with a given Feynman diagram. Then, suppose we make faces out of loops by treating vertices of our diagrams as vertices, propagators as edges, and loops as faces of our solid figure. Suppose there are $V_4$ number of 4-point vertices and $V_3$ number of 3-point vertices and $F$ number of loops in our diagram.
As a function of $g$, we get the following factor from our Feynman diagram. $$r = (g^2)^{A} \, g^B \, N_c^C$$
Convince yourself that in our solid figure made from Feynman diagrams, we can write the following relation between $E$ and $V_n$: $$ E = \frac{1}{2} \sum_n n \;V_n $$
Then, $r$ can be written entirely in terms of $\lambda$ and $N_c$ as following: $$ \lambda^{f(E, V, F)} N_c^{g (E, V, F)}$$But, notice that $g(E, V, F)$ is nothing but Euler's characteristic, $\chi$ of our polyhedron.
However, we have shown an important result here. Because we could write the contribution from each Feynman diagram in terms of $\chi$ and by extension, in terms of $g$, there's a natural way to topologically sort our Feynman diagrams. In particular, if we label the contribution by the genus, we will get a sum $$\sim f_0(\lambda) N^2 + f_1(\lambda) N^0 + f_2(\lambda) N^{-2} + \ldots +f_g(\lambda)N^\chi$$
In the t'Hooft limit, where $N\to \infty$, diagrams with genus $0$ dominate. These are called planar diagrams. A planar diagram is a diagram that you can draw on the surface of a sphere. This gives a hint that the partition function of a large-N_C theory is given by a summation over the topologies of a two-dimensional surfaces. This was really one of the first realizations that eventually led to the development of the holography principle.
