Regular Surfaces and Regular Maps

چکیده
A regular surface is a closed genus g surface defined as the tubular neighbourhood of the edge graph of a regular map. A regular map is a family of disc type polygons glued together to form a 2-manifold which is flag transitive. The visualization of this highly symmetric surface is an intriguing and challenging problem. Unlike regular maps, regular surfaces can always be visualized as 3D embeddings. In this paper, we introduce an algorithm to visualize the regular surface formed around the tubular neighborhood of a regular map. Our algorithm takes as input the symmetry group of a regular map and outputs a 3D realization of its regular surface. This surface can be interactively modified and used as a target shape for other regular maps. As a result, we find new realizations of regular maps ranging from genus 9 to 85.

متن کاملRegular Maps on Non-orientable Surfaces
It is well known that regular maps exist on the projective plane but not on the Klein bottle, nor the non-orientable surface of genus 3. In this paper several infinite families of regular maps are constructed to show that such maps exist on non-odentable surfaces of over 77 per cent of all possible genera. Mathematics Subject Classification (1991): 05C25.
متن کاملThe genera, reflexibility and simplicity of regular maps
This paper uses combinatorial group theory to help answer some longstanding questions about the genera of orientable surfaces that carry particular kinds of regular maps. By classifying all orientably-regular maps whose automorphism group has order coprime to g − 1, where g is the genus, all orientably-regular maps of genus p+1 for p prime are determined. As a consequence, it is shown that orie...
متن کاملRegular pinched maps
This paper concerns pinched surfaces, also known as pseudosurfaces. A map is a graph G embedded on an oriented pinched surface. An arc of a map is an edge of G with a fixed direction. A regular map is one with a group of orientation-preserving automorphisms that acts regularly on the arcs of a map, i.e., that acts both freely and transitively. We study regular maps on pinched surfaces. We give ...
متن کاملRealization of Regular Maps of Large Genus
Regular map is an algebraic concept to describe most symmetric tilings of closed surfaces of arbitrary genus. All regular maps resp. symmetric tilings of surfaces up to genus 302 are algebraically known in the form of symmetry groups acting on their universal covering spaces. But still little is known about geometric realizations, i.e. finding most symmetric embeddings of closed surfaces and a ...
