Determining the finite subgraphs of the curve graph
Ian Biringer,

The curve graph of an orientable surface S has vertices corresponding to isotopy classes of simple closed curves on S, and edges connect isotopy classes with disjoint representatives. We prove that there is an algorithm to determine if a given finite graph is an induced subgraph of a given curve graph. Joint with Tarik Aougab and Jonah Gaster.
