This problem occurs both as a natural question in low-dimensional topology, and as a first non-trivial instance of embeddability of complexes into 3-manifolds. We prove that the problem is NP-hard, thus adding to the relatively few hardness results that are currently known in 3-manifold topology. In addition, we show that the problem lies in NP when the Euler genus g is odd, and we give an explicit algorithm in this case.","lang":"eng"}],"author":[{"last_name":"Burton","first_name":"Benjamin","full_name":"Burton, Benjamin"},{"full_name":"De Mesmay, Arnaud N","first_name":"Arnaud N","id":"3DB2F25C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"De Mesmay"},{"id":"36690CA2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Wagner","orcid":"0000-0002-1494-0568","full_name":"Wagner, Uli","first_name":"Uli"}],"doi":"10.1007/s00454-017-9900-0","_id":"534","related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","id":"1379","relation":"earlier_version"}]},"publication_identifier":{"issn":["01795376"]},"volume":58,"date_updated":"2023-02-21T17:01:34Z","type":"journal_article","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","oa":1,"page":"871 - 888","status":"public","external_id":{"arxiv":["1602.07907"]},"citation":{"apa":"Burton, B., de Mesmay, A.
