In joint work with Josh Greene and Nicholas Vlamis we give more attention to the minimum number of colors needed. We show: The s eparating curve graph has chromatic number coarsely equal to $g \log(g)$\, and the subgraph spanned by vertices in a fixed non-zero homology class i s uniquely $g-1$-colorable. Time permitting\, we discuss related questions \, including an intriguing relationship with the Johnson homomorphism of t he Torelli group.\n DTSTART:20180221T200000Z DTEND:20180221T210000Z LOCATION:Room 920\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Jonah Gaster (9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/jonah-gaster-mcgill-unive rsity-285191 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
