Abstract
Let denote the curve complex of the closed orientable surface of genus with punctures. Masur and Minksy and subsequently Bowditch showed that is –hyperbolic for some . In this paper, we show that there exists some independent of such that the curve graph is –hyperbolic. Furthermore, we use the main tool in the proof of this theorem to show uniform boundedness of two other quantities which a priori grow with and : the curve complex distance between two vertex cycles of the same train track, and the Lipschitz constants of the map from Teichmüller space to sending a Riemann surface to the curve(s) of shortest extremal length.
