A meridian lemma for fully alternating links in thickened surfaces

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

Menasco showed that a closed surface in the complement of a non-split prime alternating link in S3S^3 contains a circle isotopic in the link complement to a meridian of the links. This result is known as the meridian lemma for alternating links. We give a meridian lemma for the class of fully alternating links in the thickened orientable surfaces of positive genus.
