Abstract

In [2], a \{5, 5\}-equivelar polyhedral map of Euler characteristic −8 was constructed. In this article we prove that \{5, 5\}-equivelar polyhedral map of Euler characteristic −8 is unique. As a consequence, we get that the minimum number of edges in a non-orientable polyhedral map of Euler characteristic −8 is > 40. We have also constructed \{5, 5\}-equivelar polyhedral map of Euler characteristic −2m for each m \geq 4.
