Hyperbolic Handlebody Complements in 3-Manifolds

Geometric Topology 2025-02-03 v1

Abstract

Let M0M_0 be a compact and orientable 3-manifold. After capping off spherical boundaries with balls and removing any torus boundaries, we prove that the resulting manifold MM contains handlebodies of arbitrary genus such that the closure of their complement is hyperbolic. We then extend the octahedral decomposition to obtain bounds on volume for some of these handlebody complements.
