On the dimension of Harer's spine for the decorated Teichm\"uller space
Abstract
In Ha86 Harer explicitly constructed a spine for the decorated Teichm\"uller space of orientable surfaces with at least one puncture and negative Euler characteristic. In this paper we point out some instances where his computation of the dimension of this spine is off by 1 and give the correct dimension.
