Abstract: A recent preprint of S. Kojima and G. McShane [KM] observes a beautiful explicit connection between Teichm"uller translation distance and hyperbolic volume. It relies on a key estimate which we supply here: using geometric inflexibility of hyperbolic 3-manifolds, we show that for $S$ a closed surface, and $psiinextMod(S)$ pseudo-Anosov, the double iteration $Q(ps{i}^{-n}(X),ps{i}^n(X))$ has convex core volume differing from $2nextvol(M_{p}si)$ by a uniform additive constant, where $M_{p}si$ is the hyperbolic mapping torus for $psi$. We combine this estimate with work of Schlenker, and a branched covering argument to obtain an explicit lower bound on Weil-Petersson translation distance of a pseudo-Anosov $psiinextMod(S)$ for general compact $S$ of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components: we have ${\displaystyle }$ ext{vol}(M_psi) le 3 sqrt{pi/2(2g - 2 +n)} , | psi |_{WP}.${\displaystyle }$ This gives the first explicit estimates on the Weil-Petersson systoles of moduli space, of the minimal distance between nodal surfaces in the completion of Teichm"uller space, and explicit lower bounds to the Weil-Petersson diameter of the moduli space via [CP]. In the process, we recover the estimates of [KM] on Teichm"uller translation distance via a Cauchy-Schwarz estimate (see [Lin]).
