The maximum genus of all vertex-transitive graphs is computed. It is proved that a k-valent vertex-transitive graph of girth g is upper-embeddable whenever k 3 4 or g 2 4. Non-upper-embeddable vertex-transitive graphs are characterized. A particular attention is paid to Cayley graphs. Groups for wh

✦ Synopsis
Skoviera, M., The maximum genus of graphs of diameter two, Discrete Mathematics 87 (1991) 175-180. Let G be a (finite) graph of diameter two. We prove that if G is loopless then it is upper embeddable, i.e. the maximum genus y,&G) equals [fi(G)/Z], where /3(G) = IF(G)1 -IV(G)1 + 1 is the Betti number of G. For graphs with loops we show that [p(G)/21 -2s yM(G) c &G)/Z] if G is vertex 2-connected, and compute the exact value of yM(G) if the vertex-connectivity of G is 1. We note that by a result of Jungerman [2] and Xuong [lo] 4-connected graphs are upper embeddable. Theorem 1. Every loopless graph of diameter two is upper embeddable.

## Abstract Given a configuration of pebbles on the vertices of a graph __G__, a __pebbling move__ consists of taking two pebbles off some vertex __v__ and putting one of them back on a vertex adjacent to __v__. A graph is called __pebbleable__ if for each vertex __v__ there is a sequence of pebbli
