Bode's braided open-book conjecture for fibered links
Bode's braided open-book conjecture for fibered links
Let be a fibered link in . A braided open book is an open book in whose binding is braided relative to the standard open book with unknotted binding; equivalently, its binding is the closure of a -fibered braid, a braid whose argument map induces a fibration. Bode's braided open-book conjecture. Every fibered link in is the binding of a braided open book, or equivalently, the closure of a -fibered braid. The conjecture is known for fibered links of braid index at most and for closures of homogeneous braids, while the general case remains open.
