On geometrically realizable Möbius triangulations (Q432714)

The title refers to triangulations of the Möbius band. A Möbius triangulation that is geometrically non-realizable in 3-space (with straight edges) was found by \textit{U. Brehm} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 89, 519--522 (1983; Zbl 0526.57013). This is based on the linking of certain cycles of length 3. In the paper under review the authors characterize this phenomenon more systematically. Theorem 2 states that a Möbius triangulation is geometrically realizable if and only if there are no two disjoint cycles of length 3 that are homotopic to the boundary of the Möbius band.
