Using zigzags (closed left-right paths), for every face of $\\Gamma$ we define the $z$-monodromy which acts on the oriented edges of this face. There are precisely $7$ types of $z$-monodromies. We consider the following two cases: (M1) the $z$-monodromy is identity, (M2) the $z$-monodromy is the consecutive passing of the oriented edges. Our main result is the following: the subgraphs of the dual graph $\\Gamma^{*}$ formed by edges whose $z$-monodromies are of types (M1) and (M2), respectively, both are forests.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-01-19T21:53:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "triangulation", "oriented edges", "closed left-right paths", "main result", "dual graph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
