Cubulating Drilled bundles over graphs

Abstract

We start with a Gromov-hyperbolic surface bundle EE over a graph, and drill out essential simple closed curves from fibers to obtain a drilled bundle FF. We prove that for such drilled bundles FF, the fundamental group π1(F)\pi_1(F) is relatively hyperbolic with (ZZ)(\mathbb{Z}\oplus \mathbb{Z}) peripheral groups. Combining the relative hyperbolicity of π1(F)\pi_1(F) thus obtained with a theorem of Wise, we establish virtually special cubulability of π1(F)\pi_1(F) provided that the maximal undrilled subbundles of FF are cubulable.
