چکیده

A combinatorial 2-manifold is called weakly regular if the action of its automorphism group on its vertices is transitive. A combinatorial 2-manifold is called degree-regular if each of its vertices have the same degree. Clearly, a weakly regular combinatorial 2-manifold is degree-regular. In [5], Lutz has classified all the weakly-regular combinatorial 2-manifolds on at most 15 vertices, among which 20 are of Euler characteristic zero. In [3], Datta and Nilakantan have classified all the degree-regular combinatorial 2-manifolds on at most 11 vertices, among which 8 are of Euler characteristic zero. For 12 ≤ n ≤ 15, we have classified all degree-regular n-vertex combinatorial 2manifolds of Euler characteristic zero. There are exactly 19 such combinatorial 2manifolds, 12 of which triangulate the torus and remaining 7 triangulate the Klein bottle. For each n ≥ 12, we have constructed two distinct weakly regular triangulations of the torus. If n ≥ 9 is not a prime then we have constructed an n-vertex degree-regular triangulation of the Klein bottle. If n is a prime then we have shown that there does not exist any n-vertex weakly regular triangulation of the Klein bottle. AMS classification : 57Q15, 57M20, 57N05.

Similarity structures on the torus and the Klein bottle via triangulations

In this paper we study the possibility of defining a similarity structure on the torus and the Klein bottle using the combinatorial data of a triangulation. Given a choice of moduli for the triangles of a triangulation of a surface, the problem is to decide whether such moduli are compatible with a global similarity structure on the surface. We study this problem under two di¤erent viewpoints. ...

Yoshihiro ASAYAMA Atsuhiro NAKAMOTO Generating even triangulations on the Klein bottle I define two reductions a 4-contradiction and a twin-contraction for even triangulation on a surface. It is well known that these reductions preserve some properties of graphs. The complete lists of minimal even triangulations for the sphere, the projective plane and the torus with respect to these reductions...

Distance-Restricted Matching Extension in Triangulations on the Torus and the Klein Bottle

A graph G with at least 2m+2 edges is said to be distance d m-extendable if for any matching M of G with m edges in which the edges lie pair-wise distance at least d, there exists a perfect matching of G containing M . In [J. Graph Theory 67 (2011), no. 1, 38-46], Aldred and Plummer proved that every 5-connected triangulation on the plane or the projective plane with an even order is distance 5...

A graph G with at least 2m + 2 edges is said to be distance d m-extendable if for any matching M in G with m edges in which the edges lie pair-wise distance at least d, there exists a perfect matching in G containing M . In a previous paper, Aldred and Plummer proved that every 5-connected triangulation of the plane or the projective plane of even order is distance 5 m-extendable for any m. In ...
