Vertex-Minimal Paper Tori

A paper torus is an embedded polyhedral torus isometric to a flat torus. Schwartz proves no paper torus with 7 vertices exists and constructs one with 8, settling the minimum-vertex question in the flat-torus embedding tradition of Császár-torus combinatorics and the Lazarus-Tallerie universal triangulation.
