Nonorientable regular maps over linear fractional groups

Abstract

It is well known that for any given hyperbolic pair ( k , m ) there exist infinitely many regular maps of valence k and face length m on an orientable surface, with automorphism group isomorphic to a linear fractional group. A nonorientable analogue of this result was known to be true for all pairs ( k , m ) as above with at least one even entry. In this paper we establish the existence of such regular maps on nonorientable surfaces for all hyperbolic pairs.
