Abstract

The fine curve graph is a Gromov hyperbolic graph on which the homeomorphism group of a surface acts. In this talk we will discuss joint work with Frédéric Le Roux which relates the surface dynamics of a torus homeomorphism to its action on the fine curve graph. We show in particular that the shape of a “big" rotation set is determined by the fixed points on the Gromov boundary of the graph. A key ingredient is a metric version of the WPD property for the homeomorphism group of the torus.
