Nonexistence of planar semi-covers of under specified conditions
Nonexistence of planar semi-covers of under specified conditions
A planar semi-cover of is a planar graph equipped with the projection structure described in the paper. Suppose satisfies the following conditions: if is the full preimage of the subgraph on vertices , then is connected, the restriction of the projection map to is a genuine cover, and the outer boundary of is a cycle of ; all -cycles of are facial; all cycles of the relevant graph covering the cycles and of are -cycles; and paths covering other octahedral -cycles may start and end on the boundary of . Nonexistence conjecture. There is no planar semi-cover of satisfying these conditions. This is presented as a strengthening of the paper's earlier conjecture concerning planar covers, and is intended to eliminate an infinite class of possible components in the proof of the main theorem.
