The integral homology sphere conjecture for k-Lê–Yomdin singularities

Let SS be a kk-Lê–Yomdin singularity with k>1k>1, and consider its link.

Integral homology sphere conjecture. No kk-Lê–Yomdin singularity with k>1k>1 has an integral homology sphere link.

The conjecture is motivated by the absence of a closed formula for the determinant of a cyclic singularity and by experimentation. The source gives no proof or resolution.
