文摘A graph is called a semi-regular graph if its automorphism group action onits ordered pair of adjacent vertices is semi-regular. In this paper, a necessary and sufficientcondition for an automorphism of the graph Γ to be an automorphism of a map with the underlyinggraph Γ is obtained. Using this result, all orientation-preserving automorphisms of maps onsurfaces (orientable and non-orientable) or just orientable surfaces with a given underlyingsemi-regular graph Γ are determined. Formulas for the numbers of non-equivalent embeddings of thiskind of graphs on surfaces (orientable, non-orientable or both) are established, and especially, thenon-equivalent embeddings of circulant graphs of a prime order on orientable, non-orientable andgeneral surfaces are enumerated.
