Abstract :
In (Masur and Wolf, 1995), Masur and Wolf proved that the Teichmüller space of genus g>1 surfaces with the Teichmüller metric is not a Gromov hyperbolic space. In this paper, we provide an alternative proof based upon a study of the action of the mapping class group on Teichmüller space.
