A characterization of short curves of a Teichmüller geodesic (Q2388861)

In this paper, the author obtains a combinatorial condition to characterize short curves along a Teichmüller geodesic. This condition is similar to the one given by Minsky for a hyperbolic 3-manifold. He shows that short curves in a hyperbolic manifold homeomorphic to \(S\times R\) are also short in the corresponding Teichmüller geodesic, and he provides examples demonstrating that its converse is false.
