Abstract

A certain recursive construction for biembeddings of Latin squares has played a substantial role in generating large numbers of nonisomorphic triangular embeddings of complete graphs. In this article, we prove that, except for the groups and C~4~, each Latin square formed from the Cayley table of an Abelian group appears in a biembedding in which the second Latin square has a transversal. Such biembeddings may then be freely used as ingredients in the recursive construction. Copyright © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 20:81‐88, 2012
