Abstract

Let SS be a projective plane with 33 holes. We prove that there is an exhaustion of the curve complex C(S)\mathcal{C}(S) by a sequence of finite rigid sets. As a corollary, we obtain that the group of simplicial automorphisms of C(S)\mathcal{C}(S) is isomorphic to the mapping class group Mod(S)\mathrm{Mod}(S). We also prove that C(S)\mathcal{C}(S) is quasi-isometric to a simplicial tree.
