✦ Synopsis


Given a link L ~ S 3, we describe a standard method for constructing a class l~, d of 4-coloured graphs representing all closed orientable 3-manifolds which are d-fold coverings of S 3 branched over the link L.

It is well-known that every closed orientable 3-manifold M 3 is the 3-fold simple covering M3(K,o)) of S 3 branched over a knot K: hence, M 3 may be visualized by the associated coloured knot (K, co). On the other hand, PL-manifolds of arbitrary dimension may be represented by coloured graphs, via p

We prove that every connected graph on n vertices can be covered by at most nΓ‚2+O(n 3Γ‚4 ) paths. This implies that a weak version of a well-known conjecture of Gallai is asymptotically true.

In this paper it is proved that the exponential generating function of the numbers, denoted by N(p, q), of irreducible coverings by edges of the vertices of complete bipartite graphs Kp.q equals exp(xe r + ye x -x -y -xy) -t.
