We examine the internal geometry of a Kleinian surface group and its relations to the asymptotic geometry of its ends, using the combinatorial structure of the complex of curves on the surface. Our main results give necessary conditions for the Kleinian group to have ‘bounded geometry’ (lower bounds on injectivity radius) in terms of a sequence of coecients (subsurface projections) computed using the ending invariants of the group and the complex of curves. These results are directly analogous to those obtained in the case of puncturedtorus surface groups. In that setting the ending invariants are points in the closed unit disk and the coecients are closely related to classical continuedfraction coecients. The estimates obtained play an essential role in the solution of Thurston’s ending lamination conjecture in that case.
