The genus of the Coxeter graph

Jane M.O. Mitchell

    Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

    Abstract

    Biggs stated that the Coxeter graph can be embedded in an orientable surface of genus 3. The purpose of this note is to point out that Biggs' embedding is in fact into a non-orientable surface. Further, it is shown that the orientable genus is 3 and the non-orientable genus is 6.
