Spanning subsets of toroidal and Klein bottle embeddings
نویسندگان
چکیده
Let Φ be an embedding of graph G in a surface S. If there exists a subset K of S bounded by a subgraph of G which contains all the vertices of G, then K is called a spanning subset of Φ. Examples of spanning subsets include spanning discs, spanning annuli with some number of holes (called planarizing sets in some papers). A spanning subset may provide a simpler structure but still contain enough information to approach certain problems about graphs embedded on surfaces. In this talk, we discuss the existence of various spanning subsets in toroidal and Klein bottle embeddings. For example, we show that for any vertex in a 3representative toroidal embeddings of a 3-connected graph there exists a spanning cylinder which contains the wheel neighborhood of that vertex.

2-extendability of toroidal polyhexes and Klein-bottle polyhexes
A toroidal polyhex (resp. Klein-bottle polyhex) described by a string (p, q, t) arises from a p × q-parallelogram of a hexagonal lattice by a usual torus (resp. Klein bottle) boundary identification with a torsion t. A connected graph G admitting a perfect matching is kextendable if |V(G)| ≥ 2k + 2 and any k independent edges can be extended to a perfect matching of G. In this paper, we charact...
متن کاملAsymptotic Energy of Lattices
Abstract. The energy of a simple graph G arising in chemical physics, denoted by E(G), is defined as the sum of the absolute values of eigenvalues of G. As the dimer problem and spanning trees problem in statistical physics, in this paper we propose the energy per vertex problem for lattice systems. In general for a type of lattices in statistical physics, to compute the entropy constant with t...
متن کاملFullerenes as Tilings of Surfaces
If a fullerene is defined as a finite trivalent graph made up solely of pentagons and hexagons, embedding in only four surfaces is possible: the sphere, torus, Klein bottle, and projective (elliptic) plane. The usual spherical fullerenes have 12 pentagons; elliptic fullerenes, 6; and toroidal and Klein-bottle fullerenes, none. Klein-bottle and elliptic fullerenes are the antipodal quotients of ...
متن کاملFlexibility of Embeddings of Bouquets of Circles on the Projective Plane and Klein Bottle
In this paper, we study the flexibility of embeddings of bouquets of circles on the projective plane and the Klein bottle. The numbers (of equivalence classes) of embeddings of bouquets of circles on these two nonorientable surfaces are obtained in explicit expressions. As their applications, the numbers (of isomorphism classes) of rooted one-vertex maps on these two nonorientable surfaces are ...

The problem of enumerating spanning trees in lattices with Klein bottle boundary condition is considered here. The exact closed-form expressions of the numbers of spanning trees for 4.8.8 lattice, hexagonal lattice, and 3(3) · 4(2) lattice on the Klein bottle are presented.
