In joint work with Josh Greene and Nicholas Vlamis we give mor e attention to the minimum number of colors needed. We show: The separatin g curve graph has chromatic number coarsely equal to $g log(g)$\, and the subgraph spanned by vertices in a fixed non-zero homology class is uniquel y $g-1$-colorable. Time permitting\, we discuss related questions\, includ ing an intriguing relationship with the Johnson homomorphism of the Torell i group.\n DTSTART:20180427T150000Z DTEND:20180427T160000Z LOCATION:Room PK-5115 \, CA\, Pavillon President-Kennedy SUMMARY:Jonah Gaster\, CIRGET URL:/mathstat/channels/event/jonah-gaster-cirget-28674 5 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
