Baskets and fibred links realizing $A_{n}$

Geometric Topology 2021-04-13 v2

Abstract

We prove that basket links, whose symmetrized Seifert form is congruent to the Cartan matrix of the simply laced Dynkin diagram AnA_{n}, are isotopic to the torus link T(2,n+1)T(2,n+1). In addition, we provide examples of links, constructed by plumbing nn positive Hopf bands the core curves of which intersect at most once, with symmetrized Seifert form congruent to the Cartan matrix AnA_{n}, that are not isotopic to T(2,n+1)T(2,n+1).
