Abstract

We prove, for any n, that there is a closed connected orientable surface S so that the hyperbolic space Hn almost-isometrically embeds into the Teichmüller space of S, with quasiconvex image lying in the thick part. As a consequence, Hn quasi-isometrically embeds in the curve complex of S.
