In this paper we briefly summarize the sociological theory of structural holes, which asserts that people benefit from acting as bridges between groups of people who do not otherwise interact. We then summarize recent work on modeling this phenomenon using network formation games. We conclude by providing open questions in the study and modeling of structural holes.
