The curve complex and covers via hyperbolic 3-manifolds

Geometric Topology 2012-08-06 v1

Abstract

Rafi and Schleimer recently proved that the natural relation between curve complexes induced by a covering map between two surfaces is a quasi-isometric embedding. We offer another proof of this result using a distance estimate via hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
