We prove two new upper bounds on the number of facets that a d-dimensional 0/1-polytope can have. The first one is 2(d -1)!+2(d -1) (which is the best one currently known for small dimensions), while the second one of O((d -2)!) is the best known bound for large dimensions.
It is proved that every connected simplicial graph with minimum valence at least three has maximum genus at least one-quarter of its cycle rank. This follows from the technical result that every 3-regular simplicial graph except K4 has a Xuong co-tree whose odd components have only one edge each. It
