Description
We develop a theory of applying combinatorial tools,
like the curve complex, to the study of the geometric properties
of Teichmüller space. We then use this theory to examine
in what way Teichmüller space equipped with the Teichmüller
metric resembles or differs from a Gromov hyperbolic space.
