This category contains results about Genera of Surfaces.
Definitions specific to this category can be found in Definitions/Genera of Surfaces.
Let $S$ be a surface.
Let $G = \struct {V, E}$ be a graph which is embedded in $S$.
Let $G$ be such that each of its faces is a simple closed curve.
Let $\map \chi G = v - e + f = 2 - 2 p$ be the Euler characteristic of $G$ where:
- $v = \size V$ is the number of vertices
- $e = \size E$ is the number of edges
- $f$ is the number of faces.
Then $p$ is known as the genus of $S$.
