LET V c C”“, n 2 0, be an algebraic hypersurface with p EV an isolated singularity (or possibly non-singular point) of V. The intersection with V of a sufficiently small (2n+ l)-sphere S’“” about p is a (2~-I)-manifold K c S’“+ l, the link of the singularity. The topological properties of K itself have been investigated by many authors. On the other hand, the knotting of K in SZni-’IS only completely understood when n= 1 (see the bibliography in [9]); a necessary and sufficient condition that a knot K c S3 occur as the link of a singularity of an algebraic curve is that it be a compound torus link satisfying some additional conditions. Our purpose is to prove a necessary condition in higher dimensions.41-3 are devoted to laying the foundations of the theory of fibered knots. In $1 we define a fibered knot as an embedding of a highly-connected manifold K in S’“” whose complement fibers over S’.(Fibered knots coincide with the “simple spinnable structures on S ‘“+ I” of [3], provided n 2 2.) Milnor has shown that the link of an isolated hypersurface singularity is a fibered knot. In $2 we define in the standard way an integral bilinear form associated to a fibered knot called the Seifert form, compute some examples, and show how the Seifert form determines other knot invariants. The first result of $3 is an easy generalization of the work of Levine:
