Given a clover link, we construct a bottom tangle by using a disk/band surface of the clover link. Since the Milnor number is already defined for a bottom tangle, we define the Milnor number for the clover link to be the Milnor number for the bottom tangle and show that for a clover link, if Milnor numbers of length k …

New method classifies spin 4-manifolds using Kervaire-Milnor invariant.
For an -component link , the Milnor's isotopy invariant is defined for each multi-index $I=i_1i_2...i_m (i_j\in\n)$. Here is called the length. Let denote the maximam number of times that any index appears. It is known that Milnor invariants with are link-homotopy invariant. N. Habegger and X. S.…
This paper characterizes Milnor invariants using diagrammatic methods.
In a previous paper, the authors proved that Milnor link-homotopy invariants modulo classify classical string links up to -move and link-homotopy. As analogues to the welded case, in terms of Milnor invariants, we give here two classifications of welded string links up to -move and self-crossing virtualizat…
Study open 3-manifolds as sums of closed ones, finding a classification.
Extends Milnor invariants to surface-links using cut-diagrams.
J.P. Levine introduced a clover link to investigate the indeterminacy of the Milnor invariants of a link. It is shown that for a clover link, the Milnor numbers of length at most are well-defined if those of length at most vanish, and that the Milnor numbers of length at least are not well-defined if …
Survey uses Milnor fibrations to classify first integrals of differential systems.
New invariants lift Milnor invariants for 3-component links.
This paper describes the relationship between the first non-vanishing Milnor invariants of a classical link and the intersection invariant of a twisted Whitney tower. This is a certain 2-complex in the 4-ball, built from immersed disks bounded by the given link in the 3-sphere together with finitely many `layers' of Wh…
We give a classification of -component links up to -move. In order to prove this classification, we characterize Brunnian links, and have that a Brunnian link is ambient isotopic to a band sum of trivial link and Milnor's links.
We define a diffeology on the Milnor classifying space of a diffeological group , constructed in a similar fashion to the topological version using an infinite join. Besides obtaining the expected classification theorem for smooth principal bundles, we prove the existence of a diffeological connection on any princip…

Study Stein and Milnor fillings of links from surface singularities.
In analogy with the holomorphic case, we compare the topology of Milnor fibrations associated to a meromorphic germ f/g : the local Milnor fibrations given on Milnor tubes over punctured discs around the critical values of f/g, and the Milnor fibration on a sphere.
Combines combinatorial method to extend Milnor invariants to welded links.
Higher-dimensional Milnor frames are characterized and contrasted with 3D Heisenberg and 4D nilpotent Lie algebras.
We consider Milnor invariants for certain covering links as a generalization of covering linkage invariants formulated by R. Hartley and K. Murasugi. A set of Milnor invariants for covering links is a cobordism invariant of a link, and that this invariant can distinguish some links for which the ordinary Milnor invaria…

Paper solves Dirichlet problem at infinity for Riemannian cones.
We describe Milnor open books and Legendrian surgery diagrams for canonical contact structures of links of some rational surface singularities. We also describe an infinite family of Milnor fillable contact 3-manifolds so that the Milnor genus (resp. Milnor norm) is strictly greater than the support genus (resp. suppor…
We explain how the generalized Milnor-Wood inequality for reductive representations of a cocompact complex-hyperbolic lattice into a Hermitian Lie group translates, under the non-abelian Hodge correspondence, into various kinds of Milnor-Wood inequalities for Higgs bundles. This clarifies the relation between the repre…

Study the topology of Milnor boundaries for real analytic map germs.
We reconfigure the Milnor invariant of links in terms of central group extensions and unipotent Magnus embeddings. We also develop a diagrammatic computation of the invariant and compute the first non-vanishing invariants of the Milnor link and of several other links. Moreover, we refine the original Milnor invariants …
Two string links are equivalent up to -moves and link-homotopy if and only if their all Milnor link-homotopy invariants are congruent modulo . Moreover, the set of the equivalence classes forms a finite group generated by elements of order . The classification induces that if two string links are equivalent u…

Paper introduces simplified formulas for Milnor's triple linking number.
Milnor fibrations have been studied since 1960's. In this paper, we study singular points of differentiable maps, called Milnor fibration product maps, obtained by several Milnor fibrations. We give a characterization of singular points of such product maps, and for the case of certain weighted homogeneous polynomials,…
We give formulas expressing Milnor invariants of an n-component link L in the 3-sphere in terms of the HOMFLYPT polynomial as follows. If the Milnor invariant \barμ_J(L) vanishes for any sequence J with length at most k, then any Milnor \barμ-invariant \barμ_I(L) with length between 3 and 2k+1 can be represented as a c…

We give a characterization of singular points of such…
