Total coloring of 1-toroidal graphs with maximum degree at least 11 and no adjacent triangles

A total coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to the vertices and the edges of G such that every pair of adjacent/incident elements receive distinct colors. The total chromatic number of a graph G, denoted by χ′′(G)\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\chi ''(G)$$\end{document}, is the minimum number of colors in a total coloring of G. The well-known total coloring conjecture (TCC) says that every graph with maximum degree Δ\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Delta $$\end{document} admits a total coloring with at most Δ+2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Delta + 2$$\end{document} colors. A graph is 1-toroidal if it can be drawn in torus such that every edge crosses at most one other edge. In this paper, we investigate the total coloring of 1-toroidal graphs, and prove that the TCC holds for the 1-toroidal graphs with maximum degree at least 11 and some restrictions on the triangles. Consequently, if G is a 1-toroidal graph with maximum degree Δ\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Delta $$\end{document} at least 11 and without adjacent triangles, then G admits a total coloring with at most Δ+2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\Delta + 2$$\end{document} colors.
