Fibered Knot


A knot or link L^n in S^(n+2) is said to be fibered if there exists a fibration f:S^(n+2)-L->S^1 and if the fibration is well-behaved near L (Rolfsen 1976, p. 323).

Examples of fibered knots include the trefoil knot and figure eight knot.

The knot sum of two fibered knots is fibered (Rolfsen 1976, p. 326).
