On biembeddings of Latin squares (Q2380264)

A known construction for face 2-colourable triangular embeddings of complete regular tripartite graphs is re-examined from the viewpoint of the underlying Latin squares. This facilitates biembeddings of a wide variety of Latin squares, including those formed from the Cayley tables of the elementary Abelian 2-groups \(C_2^k\) \((k\neq2)\). In turn, these biembeddings enable us to increase the best known lower bound for the number of face 2-colourable triangular embeddings of \(K_{n,n,n}\) for an infinite class of values of \(n\).
