内容摘要：

In this talk, I shall first give several (equivalent) definitions of ribbon graphs and their partial duals, a generalization of geometrical dual of cellularly embedded graphs from the set of edge of the graph to all subsets of the set of edges of the graph. We then talk about a little background or history as far as I know. A ribbon graph with m edges has 2^m (not necessarily distinct) partial duals. Huggett and Moffatt characterized bipartite partial duals of a plane graph (i.e. among all partial duals, which are bipartite?). They posed an open problem for characterizing Eulerian partial duals of a plane graph. We solve it and further generalize it from plane graphs to any (orientatble) ribbon graphs. This is a joint work with Metrose Metsidik and Qingying Deng.
