Guy's equality conjecture for complete graphs in specified genus ranges
Guy's equality conjecture for complete graphs in specified genus ranges
Let be the complete graph, let be the orientable surface of genus , and let and denote its Euler excess and skewness, respectively. Guy's equality conjecture. If for , then
implies
The claim is presented as a consequence of a construction based on pair-of-pants cobordisms and handles, and gives equality throughout the stated genus interval for this divisibility class.
