A Note on Quadrangular Embedding of Abelian Cayley Graphs

João Eloir Strapasson, Sueli Irene Rodrigues Costa, Marcelo Muniz

Abstract


The genus graphs have been studied by many authors, but just a few results concerning in special cases: Planar, Toroidal, Complete, Bipartite and Cartesian Product of Bipartite. We present here a general lower bound for the genus of a abelian Cayley graph and construct a family of circulant graphs which reach this bound. 

 

Keywords


Abelian Cayley Graphs, Genus of a graph, Flat torus, Tessellations.
