Representing products of manifolds by edge-coloured graphs: The boundary case

Journal article

In this paper we generalize the construction - introduced by Gagliardi and Grasselli in the closed case - of a coloured-graph representing the product of two manifolds, starting by two coloured graphs representing the manifolds themselves, to the boundary case. In particular we study the genus of the graph product of low dimensional manifold ( resp. n-spheres ) with m-disks.
