Problem 2: Geometric Graph Properties on Non-Orientable Surfaces A non-orientable surface, such as the Möbius strip or the Klein bottle, introduces unique challenges in geometric graph theory. 1. Non-Orientable Graph Embeddings: • Prove that any graph that can be embedded on a non-orientable surface with g-handles (e.g., a Klein bottle) has a different crossing number than on an orientable surface. Quantify this difference in terms of g and the graph's vertex and edge count. 2. Klein Bottle Embedding: ⚫ Derive an explicit method to embed the complete bipartite graph K3,3 on a Klein bottle without edge crossings. Prove that this embedding is possible and demonstrate how the Möbius property affects the embedding. 3. Euler Characteristic Generalization: • Prove that the Euler characteristic X for a graph embedded on a non-orientable surface is x= |V|-|E|+|F|=2-2g-n. where n is the number of "twists" or non- orientable elements. Apply this to the graph Ks and determine whether it can be embedded on a Möbius strip without edge crossings. 4. Coloring on Non-Orientable Surfaces: •Prove that the chromatic number for a non-orientable surface with genus g is at most g+ 2. Use this result to derive the chromatic number of a specific geometric graph embedded on a Möbius strip or Klein bottle.
