Classification of book representations of K6
A book representation of a graph is a particular way of embedding a graph in three-dimensional space so that the vertices lie on a circle and the edges are chords on disjoint topological disks. We describe a set of operations on book representations that preserves ambient isotopy, and apply these operations to [Formula: see text], the complete graph with six vertices. We prove there are exactly 59 distinct book representations for [Formula: see text], and we identify the number and type of knotted and linked cycles in each representation. We show that book representations of [Formula: see text] contain between one and seven links, and up to nine knotted cycles. Furthermore, all links and cycles in a book representation of [Formula: see text] have crossing number at most four.
