Abstract: We review recent theoretical progress on the dynamics of brittle crack fronts and its relationship to the roughness of fracture surfaces. We discuss the possibility that the intermediate scale roughness of cracks, which is characterized by a roughness exponent approximately equal to 0.5, could be caused by the generation, during local instabilities by depinning, of diffusively broadened corrugation waves, which have recently been observed to propagate elastically along moving crack fronts. We find that the theory agrees plausibly with the orders of magnitude observed. Various consequences and limitations, as well as alternative explanations, are discussed. We argue that another mechanism, possibly related to damage cavity coalescence, is needed to account for the observed large scale roughness of cracks that is characterized by a roughness exponent approximately equal to 0.8
