I will present a result of Klarreich on the boundary at infinity of the
complex of curves of a compact orientable surface. The complex of curves
is a delta-hyperbolic space so it has a boundary which is the set of
equivalence classes of quasi-geodesic rays. Klarreich shows that the
resulting space is homeomorphic to the space of minimal foliations of the
surface.
