sufficiently small real 3-sphere centred at the singularity. If the singular point is isolated, then the real link is a one-dimensional manifold in a 3-dimensional space. Thus the link is of interest to knot theorists. And as you increase the dimensions of things you get these more general links. Some mention of braid monodromy would be nice too. I don't want to touch the article: it's very beautiful and my

collection of manifolds. This agrees with the historical usage of the word link. Is that what you're getting at? The knot theory articles on wikipedia all have that slant. This "link" definition is still a stub and biased towards plain-jane traditional 3-dimensional knot/link theory. Not much effort has been put into it yet. You're welcome to improve it.

p.s. The milnor fibre is the wedged product of μ spheres where μ is the Milnor number of the singular function germ, i.e. the local multiplicity, i.e. the dimension of the local algebra. To compute this number you take the ring of function germs and quotient out by the
Jacobian ideal, i.e. the ideal
528:
Your example fits the basic definition of this article -- in fact the usage of "link" in singularity theory is derived from the manifold-theoretic usage of the word. I suppose "link" in the singularity-theoretic sense does not have to be a knotted collection of spheres but in general just a knotted
584:
It's getting better. I guess I'm just biased: I would love to see some mention of links in applications, e.g. singularity theory. For example a complex curve in the plane is a real two-dimensional body in four-dimensional space. The real link of a singularity on the curve is the intersection of a
512:
These are called the Milnor fibres. Then for small ε we intersect the milnor fibre with a sufficiently small hypersphere. The resulting intersection is called the link of the singularity. The topology of this link is of great importance. Moreover, varying ε along a closed path which does not pass
925:
IMO most of what you're talking about would be more appropriately placed in a topic like "fibred link". Links in general are not fibred so there's no monodromy to speak of -- there is a vague analogue in that you could talk about the action of the fundamental group of the link on the commutator

You're quite right. Although I am feeling quite puzzled. I don't remember seeing the "more generally" section the last time I looked. There must have been a problem with my web browser, or my eyes. Sorry
