Euler characteristic of a bipartite ribbon graph #

The Euler characteristic agrees with that of any edge-numbered permutation triple. This comparison gives its parity and the connected upper bound.

@[simp]

The Euler characteristic of a ribbon graph agrees with that of its permutation triple for any numbering of the edges.

The Euler characteristic of a finite bipartite ribbon graph is even.

A connected bipartite ribbon graph has Euler characteristic at most two.
