Author(s): Archdeacon; Bonnington; Siran

Conjecture   Let $ (a_0,a_1,a_2,\ldots,0) $ be a sequence of nonnegative integers which strictly decreases until $ 0 $.

Then there exists a graph that be drawn on a surface with orientable (nonorientable, resp.) genus $ i $ with $ a_i $ crossings, but not with less crossings.

Keywords: crossing number; crossing sequence
