On the bigenus of the complete graphs

Combinatorics 2021-11-24 v1

Abstract

We describe an infinite family of edge-decompositions of complete graphs into two graphs, each of which triangulate the same orientable surface. Previously, such decompositions had only been known for only a few complete graphs. These so-called biembeddings solve a generalization of the Earth-Moon problem for an infinite number of orientable surfaces.
