Abstract

A semi-equivelar gem of a PL dd-manifold is a regular colored graph that represents the PL dd-manifold and regularly embeds on a surface, with the property that the cyclic sequence of degrees of faces in the embedding around each vertex is identical. In \cite{bb24}, the authors classified semi-equivelar gems of PL dd-manifolds embedded on surfaces with Euler characteristics greater than or equal to zero. In this article, we focus on classifying semi-equivelar gems of PL dd-manifolds embedded on the surface with Euler characteristic 1-1. We prove that if a semi-equivelar gem embeds regularly on the surface with Euler characteristic 1-1, then it belongs to one of the following types: (83),(62,8),(62,12),(102,4),(122,4),(8^3), (6^2,8), (6^2,12), (10^2,4), (12^2,4), (4,6,14),(4,6,16),(4,6,18),(4,6,24),(4,8,10),(4,8,12), (4,6,14), (4,6,16), (4,6,18), (4,6,24), (4,8,10), (4,8,12), or (4,8,16)(4,8,16). Furthermore, we provide constructions that demonstrate the existence of such gems for each of the aforementioned types.
