SUMMARY:Niloufar Fuladi\, Cross-cap drawings and signed reversal distance
DESCRIPTION:A cross-cap drawing of a graph G is a drawing on the sphere with g distinct points\, called cross-caps\, such that the drawing is an embedding except at the cross-caps\, where edges cross properly. A cross-cap drawing of a graph G with g cross-caps can be used to represent an embedding of G on a non-orientable surface of genus g. Mohar conjectured that any triangulation of a non-orientable surface of genus g admits a cross-cap drawing with g cross-caps in which each edge of the triangulation enters each cross-cap at most once. Motivated by Mohar’s conjecture\, Schaefer and Stefankovic provided an algorithm that computes a cross-cap drawing with a minimal number of cross-caps for a graph G such that each edge of the graph enters each cross-cap at most twice. In this talk\, I will first outline a connection between cross-cap drawings and an algorithm coming from computational biology to compute the signed reversal distance between two permutations. This connection will then be leveraged to answer two computational problems on graphs embedded on surfaces. \nFirst\, I show how to compute a “short” canonical decomposition for a non-orientable surface with a graph embedded on it. Such canonical decompositions were known for orientable surfaces\, but the techniques used to compute them do not generalize to non-orientable surfaces due to their more complex nature. Second\, I explain how to build a counter example to a stronger version of Mohar’s conjecture that is stated for pseudo-triangulations. \nThis is joint work with Alfredo Hubard and Arnaud de Mesmay.
