Abstract:
We describe a method introduced by I. Aitchison for constructing doubly slice fibered $n$-knots. We prove that all high-dimensional simple doubly slice fibered $n$-knots can be obtained by this construction. (Even-dimensional $n$-knots are required to be $Z$-torsion-free.) We also show that any possible rational Seifert form can be realized by a doubly slice fibered classical knot.References
