In their 2022 work, Bowden, Hensel, and Webb associate to a
surface its fine curve graph, which is a Gromov hyperbolic space. The
homeomorphisms of the surface act as isometries on the fine curve graph,
either hyperbolically, parabolically, or elliptically. It turns out that
the problem of classifying homeomorphisms based on the type of their
action on this graph, is related to the rotational behaviour of
homeomorphisms. This connection has been established in the case of the
torus leading to a complete classification. In this talk, I will present
the progress that has been made towards solving the problem for higher
genus surfaces.
