Hamiltonian embeddings of $K_{n,n,n}$
Presented by Mr. Justin SCHROEDER
Type: Oral presentation
Track: Maps and Symmetries
Content
A hamiltonian embedding of a graph $G$ is a drawing of $G$ on a surface such that no edges cross and the boundary of every face is a hamilton cycle. In this talk we develop several methods of constructing hamiltonian embeddings of the complete tripartite graph $K_{n,n,n}$. For nonorientable surfaces, we build an embedding for all values of $n$. For orientable surfaces, we build an embedding for all $n\equiv 0,1,3$ (mod 4) and explore some possible constructions when $n\equiv 2$ (mod 4) based on orthogonal latin squares. This is joint work with Mark Ellingham.
