Extending fibrations of knot complements to ribbon disk complements

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2048411




Abstract: We show that if K is a fibered ribbon knot in S3=partialB4 bounding a ribbon disk D, then given an extra transversality condition the fibration on S3setminusu(K) extends to a fibration of B4setminusu(D). This partially answers a question of Casson and Gordon. In particular, we show the fibration always extends when D has exactly two local minima. More generally, we construct movies of singular fibrations on 4-manifolds and describe a sufficient property of a movie to imply the underlying 4-manifold is fibered over S1.
