Essay

We give a more simple proof of the Map Color Theorem for nonorientable surfaces and construct exponentially many nonisomorphic minimal embeddings of every complete graph. The distance between two triangular embeddings of a complete graph is investigated. Using Steiner triple systems, we show that there exist nonorientable triangular embeddings of complete graphs with unboundedly large looseness. The 1-chromatic number of every surface is found up to 10. We find an infinite series of surfaces with known 1-chromatic number.
