Quasi-vertex-transitive Maps on the Plane

Abstract

Quasi-vertex-transitive maps are the homogeneous maps on the plane with finitely many vertex orbits under the action of their automorphism groups. We show that there exist quasi-vertex-transitive maps of types $[p^3, 3]$ for $p \equiv 1$ (mod $6$), but there doesn't exist vertex-transitive map of such types. In particular, we determine the surface with the lowest possible genus that admit a polyhedral map of type $[5^3, 3]$.
