| Abstract: | We discuss an important graph in low-dimensional topology called the "curve graph" of a surface, the 1-skeleton of the curve complex, after Bill Harvey. We give some idea of its importance, and some of its theory, mentioning the work of Ivanov, Masur-Minsky and Bowditch among others. |
