Research Seminar in Mathematics - Graph embeddings and genus distribution

Dr. Ting Guo (University of Vienna, Austria)

Abstract

This is an introductory talk on topological graph theory.  I will focus on the following two questions:

  • How graphs can be embedded in different topological surfaces?
  • How to determine the genus distributions of graphs?

I shall present some basic definitions and results about the first question, and three principle approaches to the second question.
