    Closed surfaces with Euler characteristic $-2$

    FF-BOIT5

    Euler characteristic $-2$ means orientable genus $2$ or nonorientable genus $4$.Suggest a slogan

    Let \(\Sigma\) be a connected closed surface with Euler characteristic \(\chi(\Sigma) = -2\). If \(\Sigma\) is orientable, then \(\Sigma\) is homeomorphic to the orientable surface \(\Sigma_2\) of genus \(2\); otherwise \(\Sigma\) is homeomorphic to the nonorientable surface \(N_4 = \#_{i=1}^4\RP^2\) [@Mun00]; [@Hat02].

    Which closed surfaces have $\chi = -2$?
