Exponents of Orientable Maps
We generalize the idea of reflexibility of a map on a surface by introducing certain integers as its ``exponents. An exponent is any integer \(e\) with the property that changing the cyclic permutation of edges around each vertex induced by the map to its \(e\)th power gives rise to an isomorphic map. The exponents reduced modulo the least common multiple of the vertex valencies form an Abelian group, the exponent group \(\text{Ex}(M)\) of the map \(M\). Along with the automorphism group, the group in fact provides an additional measure of symmetry of \(M\). The paper is devoted to developing the fundamentals of the theory of exponent groups of maps. Motivation comes from the problem of classification of regular maps with a given underlying graph. To this end, we prove that the number of non-isomorphic regular maps (if any) with a given underlying graph and the same map automorphism group is \(|\mathbb{Z}^*_n: \text{Ex}(M)|\), \(n\) being the valency of \(M\). We calculate the exponent groups for some interesting families of regular maps including complete maps. Special attention is paid to the problem of how the antipodality of a map is reflected by its exponent group. In the final section we discuss several open problems.
