Abstract: | A triangulation of a connected closed surface is called weakly regular if the action of its automorphism group on its vertices
is transitive. A triangulation of a connected closed surface is called degree-regular if each of its vertices have the same
degree. Clearly, a weakly regular triangulation is degree-regular. In 8], Lutz has classified all the weakly regular triangulations
on at most 15 vertices. In 5], Datta and Nilakantan have classified all the degree-regular triangulations of closed surfaces
on at most 11 vertices.
In this article, we have proved that any degree-regular triangulation of the torus is weakly regular. We have shown that there
exists ann-vertex degree-regular triangulation of the Klein bottle if and only if n is a composite number ≥ 9. We have constructed two
distinctn-vertex weakly regular triangulations of the torus for eachn ≥ 12 and a (4m + 2)-vertex weakly regular triangulation of the Klein bottle for eachm ≥ 2. For 12 ≤n ≤ 15, we have classified all then-vertex degree-regular triangulations of the torus and the Klein bottle. There are exactly 19 such triangulations, 12 of which
are triangulations of the torus and remaining 7 are triangulations of the Klein bottle. Among the last 7, only one is weakly
regular. |
