abstract = "The study of star clusters plays an important role in our
understanding of the Universe since these systems are natural
laboratories for testing theories of stellar dynamics and
evolution. Particularly, globular clusters (GCs) are one of the
most important objects for studying the formation and the physical
nature of exotic systems which in turn provide basic information
and tools that can help us to understand the formation and
evolution processes of star clusters themselves, galaxies and, in
general, the young Universe. Among the most interesting objects in
GCs are the cataclysmic variables (CVs), which are interacting
binaries harboring a white dwarf accreting from a low-mass
companion. Since GC densities are sufficiently high that dynamical
encounters involving binaries should be common, CV progenitors are
expected to be affected by dynamics in some way in the early
stages. In this article we review the formation channels and the
influence of dynamics on the CV population in GCs. In particular,
we review recent progress in numerical simulations. Furthermore,
we discuss observational properties of CVs in GCs and the
techniques used to identify and study them. We focus the
discussion on the multi-wavelength observations carried out with
HST and Chandra on the best-studied GCs NGC 6397, NGC 6752, 47
Tucanae and Omega Centauri; on the recent spectroscopic findings
with MUSE, and on updates regarding the correlation between the
number of faint X-ray sources and the cluster stellar encounter
rate. Finally, we discuss some observational prospects that might
potentially help future investigations.",
