REAL ANALYTIC GERMS
AND OPEN-BOOK DECOMPOSITIONS OF THE 3-SPHERE
Abstract
Let f,g: (C2,0) → (C,0) be two holomorphic germs with isolated singularities and no common branches and let Lf, be their links. We prove that the real analytic germ
has an isolated singularity at 0 if and only if the link Lf ∪ -Lg is fibred. This was conjectured by Rudolph in [14]. If this condition holds, then the underlying Milnor fibration is an open-book fibration of the link Lf ∪ -Lg which coincides with
in a tubular neighbourhood of this link. This enables one to realize a large family of fibrations of plumbing links in S3 as the Milnor fibrations of some real analytic germs
