Limits for embedding distributions

Yichao Chen, ycchen@hnu.edu.cn

In this paper, we first establish a central limit theorem which is new in probability, then we
find and prove that, under some conditions, the embedding distributions of H-linear family of
graphs with spiders are asymptotic normal distributions. As corollaries, the asymptotic normal-
ity for the embedding distributions of path-like sequence of graphs with spiders and the genus
distributions of ladder-like sequence of graphs are given. We also prove that the limit of Euler-
genus distributions is the same as that of crosscap-number distributions. The results here can
been seen a version of central limit theorem in topological graph theory.

On the Gross-Mansour-Tucker conjecture

Sergei Chmutov, chmutov.1@osu.edu

In this presentation I will explain a proof of the Gross, Mansour, Tucker conjecture claiming that
any ribbon graph, distinct from explicit family of special exceptions, has a partial dual graph
of different genus. This is a joint work with Fabien Vignes-Tourneret based of the preprint
arXiv:2101.09319v1 [math.CO].

Embedded graphs and delta-matroids

The interplay between embedded graphs and delta-matroids generates useful tools for both
research areas. In this talk we explore such results and propose further applications.

Embeddings with Eulerian faces II: degree conditions

Mark Ellingham, mark.ellingham@vanderbilt.edu

Coauthor: Joanna Ellis-Monaghan

As a natural special case of edge-outer embeddability, we consider the problem of finding max-
imum genus orientable directed embeddings. We allow some faces to be specified in advance.
Digraphs with directed embeddings are necessarily eulerian. If we are given an eulerian digraph
and a decomposition of the arcs into edge-disjoint directed walks, then we can regard this as a
partial embedding, with the walks as specified face boundaries. If we can complete this to an
embedding by adding one more face bounded by an euler circuit, then the embedding will have
maximum genus subject to containing the specified faces. We show that this is always possi-
ble provided the underlying simple graph of our n-vertex digraph has minimum degree at least
