Aug 21, 2020 at 7:38 comment added Hans-Peter Stricker Because my complex has $v = 36$ vertices.
Aug 21, 2020 at 7:37 comment added M. Winter @Hans-PeterStricker Why $\chi=-9$?
Aug 21, 2020 at 7:36 comment added Hans-Peter Stricker $108 = -12\chi$, $\chi = -9$ (I was only talking about my specific complex. For this one, non-existence per se can be proved in principle.)
Aug 21, 2020 at 7:35 comment added M. Winter @Hans-PeterStricker Where is this bound 108 from? Based on my answer, a large number of edges means that we need a large negative genus. But is not a proof of non-existence per se.
Aug 21, 2020 at 7:32 comment added Hans-Peter Stricker I counted $e$: Since $64$ edges are already present and $24 \times 3 + 4 \times 4 = 88$ have to be added, a total number of $152$ results, which far exceeds the number of $108$. Is this a strong proof, that my neighourhood complex cannot be uniformly closed?
Aug 21, 2020 at 7:31 comment added M. Winter @Hans-PeterStricker It does not have to be the (surface of the) double torus, it can potentially be any $n$-holed torus. All I was able to show was that (if embedded) it must lie on a surface of negative Euler characteristic, and this is (in the oriented case) a torus with at laest two holes. You can have unoriented variants too but I do not know their Euler characteristic off the top of my head.
Aug 21, 2020 at 7:24 comment added Hans-Peter Stricker Note that the complex I want to close (e.g. to a torus or some other surface) has $36$ vertices (necessary condition on the number of vertices fulfilled!) , so the characteristic has to be $-9$, i.e. a $9$-whole torus, right? $f = 63$ and $e=108$? I have to count.
Aug 21, 2020 at 7:16 comment added Hans-Peter Stricker Here I read that the solid double torus has $\chi = -1$ and the double torus = genus 2 torus = boundary of solid double torus $\chi = -2$. This means that our "torificated" graphs always come as (or on) boundaries of solid double tori?
