Understanding this relationship allows us to classify fibered cable knots which bound a properly embedded complex curve in the four-ball satisfying a genus constraint. This generalizes the well-known classification of links of plane curve singularities.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-04-28T15:52:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57M25", "57M25", "53D10" ], "keywords": [ "contact structure", "plane curve singularities", "relationship", "well-known classification", "genus constraint" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0804.4327H" } } }
