Semi-Equivelar maps are generalizations of Archimedean Solids (as are equivelar maps of the Platonic solids) to the surfaces other than 2−Sphere. We classify some semi equivelar maps on surface of Euler characteristic −1 and show that none of these are vertex transitive. We establish existence of 12-covered triangulations for this surface. We further construct double cover of these maps to show existence of semi-equivelar maps on the surface of double torus. We also construct several semi-equivelar maps on the surfaces of Euler characteristics −8 and −10 and on non-orientable surface of Euler characteristics −2.

A tiling of the Euclidean plane, by regular polygons, is called 2-uniform tiling if it has two orbits of vertices under the action of its symmetry group. There are 20 distinct 2-uniform tilings of the plane. Plane being the universal cover of torus and Klein bottle, it is natural to ask about the exploration of maps on these two surfaces corresponding to the 2-uniform tilings. We call such maps as doubly semiequivelar maps. In the present study, we compute and classify (up to isomorphism) doubly semiequivelar maps on torus and Klein bottle. This classification of semiequivelar maps is useful in classifying a category of symmetrical maps which have two orbits of vertices, named as 2-uniform maps.

Semi-equivelar maps are generalizations of maps on the surfaces of Archimedean solids to surfaces other than the 2-sphere. The well known 11 types of normal tilings of the plane suggest the possible types of semi-equivelar maps on the torus and the Klein bottle. In this article we classify (up to isomorphism) semi-equivelar maps on the torus and the Klein bottle with few vertices.
