    The authors firstly show that if a graph \(G\) has a minor \(M\) with the maximum degree of vertices at most 4, then the crossing number of \(G\) in a surface \(\Sigma\) is at least one fourth the crossing number of \(M\) in \(\Sigma\). Further, based on this result, they find that every graph embedded in the torus with representativity \(r\geq 6\) has Klein bottle crossing number at least \(\lfloor 2r/3\rfloor^2/64\).
