Abstract

Let F be a compact orientable surface with nonempty boundary other than a disk. Let L be a link in F × I with a connected weakly prime cellular alternating projection to F. We provide simple conditions that determine exactly when (F × I) ∖ N(L) is hyperbolic. We also consider suitable embeddings of F × I in an ambient manifold Y with boundary and provide conditions on links L ⊂ F × I which guarantee tg-hyperbolicity of Y ∖ N(L). These results provide many examples of hyperbolic links in handlebodies and fiber bundles. It also provides many examples of staked links that are hyperbolic.
