Bode's braided open-book conjecture for fibered links

About 1 year old · traced to

Let LL be a fibered link in S3S^3. A braided open book is an open book in S3S^3 whose binding is braided relative to the standard open book with unknotted binding; equivalently, its binding is the closure of a PP-fibered braid, a braid whose argument map induces a fibration. Bode's braided open-book conjecture. Every fibered link in S3S^3 is the binding of a braided open book, or equivalently, the closure of a PP-fibered braid. The conjecture is known for fibered links of braid index at most 33 and for closures of homogeneous braids, while the general case remains open.
