AbstractA 2-cell embedding of an Eulerian digraph D into a closed surface is said to be directed if the boundary of each face is a directed closed walk in D. In this paper, a method is developed with the purpose of enumerating unlabelled embeddings for an Eulerian digraph. As an application, we obtain explicit formulas for the number of unlabelled embeddings of directed bouquets of cycles Bn, directed dipoles OD2n and for a class of regular tournaments T2n+1.

The Chip-firing game is a discrete dynamical system played on a graph, in which chips move along edges according to a simple local rule. Properties of the underlying graph are of course useful to the understanding of the game, but since a conjecture of Biggs that was proved by Merino López, we also know that the study of the Chip-firing game can give insights on the graph. In particular, a strong relation between the partial Tutte polynomial $T_G(1,y)$ and the set of recurrent configurations of a Chip-firing game (with a distinguished sink vertex) has been established for undirected graphs. A direct consequence is that the generating function of the set of recurrent configurations is independent of the choice of the sink for the game, as it characterizes the underlying graph itself. In this paper we prove that this property also holds for Eulerian directed graphs (digraphs), a class on the way from undirected graphs to general digraphs. It turns out from this property that the generating function of the set of recurrent configurations of an Eulerian digraph is a natural and convincing candidate for generalizing the partial Tutte polynomial $T_G(1,y)$ to this class. Our work also gives some promising directions of looking for a generalization of the Tutte polynomial to general digraphs.

A minimum feedback arc set of a directed graph G is a smallest set of arcs whose removal makes G acyclic. Its cardinality is denoted by β(G). We show that a simple Eulerian digraph with n vertices and m arcs has β(G) ≥ m2/2n2+m/2n, and this bound is optimal for infinitely many m, n. Using this result we prove that a simple Eulerian digraph contains a cycle of length at most 6n2/m, and has an Eulerian subgraph with minimum degree at least m2/24n3. Both estimates are tight up to a constant factor. Finally, motivated by a conjecture of Bollobás and Scott, we also show how to find long cycles in Eulerian digraphs.

Let $G$ be an Eulerian digraph with all in- and out-degrees equal to 2, and let $\pi$ be an Euler trail in $G$. We consider an intersection matrix $\boldsymbol {L}(\pi)$ with the property that the determinant of $\boldsymbol{L}(\pi) + \boldsymbol{I}$ is equal to the number of Euler trails in $G$; $\boldsymbol{I}$ denotes the identity matrix. We show that if the inverse of $\boldsymbol{L}(\pi)$ exists, then $\boldsymbol{L}^{-1}(\pi) = \boldsymbol{L}(\sigma)$ for a certain Euler trail $\sigma$ in $G$. Furthermore, we use properties of the intersection matrix to prove some results about how to divide the set of Euler trails in a digraph into smaller sets of the same size.
