On the sphere there are many ways of “coloring” which are equivalent to four coloring [3]. In this section we will study the relationships between three of these-four coloring, edge coloring, and heawood coloring-on an arbitrary orientable two manifold. We introduce the concept of a local coloring which clarifies the relations.(1) A four coloring of a triangulation K is a mapf: K+ &13 which is simplicial and maps triangles onto triangles. We call any map between 2-complexes with these two properties a nondegenerate map. U3 is the tetrahedron, so the vertices of K are mapped to four vertices. If two vertices of K are adjacent, then the edge between them is mapped to an edge, so they map to different vertices. Thus this definition is the same as the usual one.
