Chirality, genera and simplicity of orientably-regular maps
author:
Marston Conder,

Description
An orientably-regular map is a cellular embedding of a graph or multigraph in
an orientable-surface, with the property that the group of orientation- and incidencepreserving
automorphisms has a single orbit on the arcs (ordered edges) of the embedding.
I will describe a recent computer-assisted determination of all such maps on
surfaces of genus 2 to 100, which revealed some interesting patterns, leading to new
discoveries about gaps in the genus spectrum of examples that (a) are chiral, and/or (b)
have the property that the map or its topological dual has simple underlying graph. The
last part is joint work with Jozef Siran and Tom Tucker.
