Let $\mathbb{S}_g$ be the orientable surface of genus $g$ for a fixed non-negative integer $g$. We show that the number of vertex-labelled cubic multigraphs embeddable on $\mathbb{S}_g$ with $2n$ vertices is asymptotically $c_g n^{5/2(g-1)-1}\gamma^{2n}(2n)!$, where $\gamma$ is an algebraic constant and $c_g$ is a constant depending only on the genus $g$. We also derive an analogous result for simple cubic graphs and weighted cubic multigraphs. Additionally, for $g\ge1$, we prove that a typical cubic multigraph embeddable on $\mathbb{S}_g$ has exactly one non-planar component.

Let X be a closed, compact connected 2-manifold (a surface), which we will denote by O or N if we wish to stress that X is orientable or non-orientable. Let G(X) denote the group of all homeomorphisms X → X, D(X) the normal subgroup of homeomorphisms isotopic to the identity, and H(X) the factor group G(X)/D(X), i.e. the homeotopy group of X. The problem of determining generators for H(O) was considered by Lickorish in (7, 8), and the second of these papers specifies a finite set of generators of a particularly simple type. In (10) and (11) Lickorish considered the analogous problem for non-orientable surfaces, and, using Lickorish's partial results, Chilling-worth (4) determined a finite set of generators for H(N). While the generators obtained for H(O) and H(N) were strikingly similar, it was noteworthy that the techniques used in the two cases were different, and in particular that little use was made in the non-orientable case of the earlier results obtained on the orientable case. The purpose of this note is to show that the results of Lickorish and Chillingworth on non-orientable surfaces follow rather easily from the work in (7, 8) by an application of some ideas from the theory of covering spaces (2). Moreover, while Lickorish and Chillingworth sought only to find generators, we are able to show (Theorem 1) how in fact the entire structure of the group H(N) is determined by H(O), where O is an orientable double cover of N. Finally, we are able to determine defining relations for H(N) for the case where N is the connected sum of 3 projective planes (Theorem 3).

Abstract It is a classical result that pure mapping class groups of connected, orientable surfaces of finite type and genus at least 3 are perfect. In stark contrast, we construct nontrivial homomorphisms from infinite-genus mapping class groups to the integers. Moreover, we compute the first integral cohomology group associated to the pure mapping class group of any connected orientable surface of genus at least 2 in terms of the surface’s simplicial homology. In order to do this, we show that pure mapping class groups of infinite-genus surfaces split as a semi-direct product.

AbstractFor a non-trivial knot in the 3-sphere, only integral Dehn surgery can create a closed 3-manifold containing a projective plane. If we restrict ourselves to hyperbolic knots, the corresponding claim for a Klein bottle is still true. In contrast to these, we show that non-integral surgery on a hyperbolic knot can create a closed non-orientable surface of any genus greater than two.

We show that for loopless $6$-regular triangulations on the torus the gap between the choice number and chromatic number is at most $2$. We also show that the largest gap for graphs embeddable in an orientable surface of genus $g$ is of the order $\Theta(\sqrt{g})$, and moreover for graphs with chromatic number of the order $o(\sqrt{g}/\log_{2}(g))$ the largest gap is of the order $o(\sqrt{g})$.

In this paper, we compute the automorphism groups [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of braid groups [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] on every orientable surface [Formula: see text], which are isomorphic to group extensions of the extended mapping class group [Formula: see text] by the transvection subgroup except for a few cases. We also prove that [Formula: see text] is always a characteristic subgroup of [Formula: see text], unless [Formula: see text] is a twice-punctured sphere and [Formula: see text].

The large-group behavior of the nonlocal two-dimensional generalized Yang–Mills theories ( nlgYM 2's) on arbitrary closed non-orientable surfaces is investigated. It is shown that all order of ϕ2k model of these theories has third order phase transition only on the projective plane (RP2). Also the phase structure of [Formula: see text] model of nlgYM 2 is studied and it is found that for γ>0, this model has third order phase transition only on RP 2. For γ<0, it has third order phase transition on any closed non-orientable surfaces except RP 2 and Klein bottle.

International audience A unicellular map is the embedding of a connected graph in a surface in such a way that the complement of the graph is a topological disk. In this paper we give a bijective operation that relates unicellular maps on a non-orientable surface to unicellular maps of a lower topological type, with distinguished vertices. From that we obtain a recurrence equation that leads to (new) explicit counting formulas for non-orientable precubic (all vertices of degree 1 or 3) unicellular maps of fixed topology. We also determine asymptotic formulas for the number of all unicellular maps of fixed topology, when the number of edges goes to infinity. Our strategy is inspired by recent results obtained for the orientable case [Chapuy, PTRF 2010], but significant novelties are introduced: in particular we construct an involution which, in some sense, ``averages'' the effects of non-orientability. \par Une carte unicellulaire est le plongement d'un graphe connexe dans une surface, tel que le complémentaire du graphe est un disque topologique. On décrit une opération bijective qui relie les cartes unicellulaires sur une surface non-orientable aux cartes unicellulaires de type topologique inférieur, avec des sommets marqués. On en déduit une récurrence qui conduit à de (nouvelles) formules closes d'énumération pour les cartes unicellulaires précubiques (sommets de degré 1 ou 3) de topologie fixée. On obtient aussi des formules asymptotiques pour le nombre total de cartes unicellulaires de topologie fixée, quand le nombre d'arêtes tend vers l'infini. Notre stratégie est motivée par de récents résultats dans le cas orientable [Chapuy, PTRF, 2010], mais d'importantes nouveautés sont introduites: en particulier, on construit une involution qui, en un certain sens, "moyenne'' les effets de la non-orientabilité.
