Genus of Embedded Graphs in Orientable Closed Surfaces

Geometric Topology 2023-11-27 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We give an algorithm to calculate the minimal and maximal genus of the orientable closed surface where a graph GG can be embedded. For this, we construct some special branched coverings of the 2-sphere. We apply this algorithm to calculate the orientable genus and maximal genus of some Snarks graphs.
