Every graph has an embedding in $S^3$ containing no non-hyperbolic knot

In contrast with knots, whose properties depend only on their extrinsic topology in $S^3$, there is a rich interplay between the intrinsic structure of a graph and the extrinsic topology of all embeddings of the graph in $S^3$. For example, it was shown by Conway and Gordon that every embedding of the complete graph $K_7$ in $S^3$ contains a non-trivial knot. Later it was shown that for every $m\in N$ there is a complete graph $K_n$ such that every embedding of $K_n$ in $S_3$ contains a knot $Q$ whose minimal crossing number is at least $m$. Thus there are arbitrarily complicated knots in every embedding of a sufficiently large complete graph in $S^3$. We prove the contrasting result that every graph has an embedding in $S^3$ such that every non-trivial knot in that embedding is hyperbolic. Our theorem implies that every graph has an embedding in $S^3$ which contains no composite or satellite knots.
