Abstract
Let G be a string graph (an intersection graph of continuous arcs in the plane) with m edges. Fox and Pach proved that G has a separator consisting of $O(m^{3/4}\sqrt{\log m})$ vertices, and they conjectured that the bound of $O(\sqrt m)$ actually holds. We obtain separators with $O(\sqrt m \,\log m)$ vertices.
