Fibring the complement of the Fenn-Rolfsen link.

Roger Fenn (1989)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

In this note it is shown that the complement of the singular linked spheres in four dimensions defined by Fenn and Rolfsen can be fibred by tori. Also a symmetry between the two components is revealed which shows that the image provides an example of a Spanier-Whitehead duality. This provides an immediate proof that the α-invariant is non zero.

Quasipositivity and new knot invariants.

Lee Rudolph (1989)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Similarity:

This is a survey (including new results) of relations ?some emergent, others established? among three notions which the 1980s saw introduced into knot theory: quasipositivity of a link, the enhanced Milnor number of a fibered link, and the new link polynomials. The Seifert form fails to determine these invariants; perhaps there exists an ?enhanced Seifert form? which does.
