Abstract

In this paper we complete the classification of topological symmetry groups for complete graphs K_n by characterizing which K_n can have a cyclic group, a dihedral group, or a subgroup of D_m × D_m for odd m, as its topological symmetry group. Using this classification, one can algorithmically determine all possible topological symmetry groups of K_n for any n.
