Topological Symmetry Groups of the Complete Graphs K4q+3

Coauthors: Professor Erica Flapan, John D. O'Brien

We present the concept of the topological symmetry group as a way to analyze the symmetries of non-rigid molecules. Then we show that only certain cyclic, dihedral, and products of two cyclic groups of odd order can occur as the topological symmetry group of an embedding of the complete graph K4q+3 in S3.
