Abstract

We provide a combinatorial and self-contained proof of a result following from G. Besson [Ann. Inst. Fourier, 30 (1980), pp. 109-128] and Y. Colin de Verdiere [Ann. Sci. Ec. Norm. Super., 20 (1987), pp. 599-615] that for all graphs G embedded on a surface S, the Colin de Verdiere parameter μG is upper bounded by 7 2\chi (S).
