yeld curve refers to the shape of the term structure of interest rates, where term structure is the differential between the rates on any set of maturities.

yeld curve arbitrage is not pure arbitrage as some may think. Many times the term arbitrage is used to label trading strategies which carry little risk. Still, the risk is there. Yeld curve arbitrage is a view on the future rate differential between interest rates of different maturities.
