Abstract
A survey of two-dimensional vortex fluctuations in connection with high-T c superconductors is given. Issues like plane decoupling, deviations from two dimensional resistance curve, non-linear IV characteristics, peak ratio of the dynamical response and flux noise spectra are briefly discussed.
