‟Orientable Quadrilateral Embeddings of Cartesian Products of Cycles” by Matthew Farnsworth <matt.farnsworth@bruins.belmont.edu>, Belmont University

Abstract:

In the spirit of Pisanski (1989) we consider orientable quadrilateral embeddings of Cartesian products of cycles on surfaces. We offer a constructive example of such an embedding of three low-order cycles. Then we show more generally that such embeddings exist for products of the form $C_2 \times C_{2n} \times C_{m}$. We represent our graphs using rotation schemes to show this existence. Use of rotation schemes led to the ultimate characterization of our findings visually, providing conjectures for generalizations of products of three cycles.
