Links of Singularities -- Knot Theoretic Constructions
Abstract: In the previous talk, we showed how Brieskorn Manifolds gave many examples of fibered codimension two
submanifolds of spheres. In this talk we give a general construction for combined a fibered knot in dimension n
with any knot in dimension m to give a new fibered knot in dimension n+m+1. This is called the product of
the two knots. This method can be used to reconstruct the Brieskorn manifolds and many other examples as
well.
