Abstract In this paper we calculate the Petrie numbers and the lengths of the Petrie polygons of all reflexible regular maps of genus 2 to 15. Mathematics Subject Classification: 30F10, 05C10 Keywords: Regular map, Petrie polygon, Petrie automorphism, Petrie number, Petrie length 1 Introduction A map M is an embedding of a finite graph G in a Riemann surface X such that the components of X −G , which are called the faces of M, are each homeomorphic to an open disc. M is said to be of type {m, n} if every vertex and face of M has valency m and n respectively. The genus of M is the genus of the underlying surface X . In our maps we require G to be connected and every edge of G to have two vertices. We also require X to be orientable, compact, connected and without boundary. An automorphism of M is an automorphism of X that leaves M invariant and preserves incidence. All automorphisms of M form a group under composition of maps and we will denote it by Aut ± M and the subgroup consisting of conformal automorphisms by Aut + M. M is said to be regular if Aut + M is transitive on the directed edges. If M admits an involution R that fixes the mid-point of an edge and interchanges the two darts without interchanging the two neighboring faces, then M is called reflexible and R is called a reflection of M.
