Cobordism of fibered knots, applications to low dimensional algebraic knots.
by
V. Blanloeil
Louis PASTEUR University of Strasbourg

In this talk we will explain the classical theory of knot cobordism (low and high dimensions). Then we will give some applications to cobordism of knots associated with isolated singularities of complex hypersurfaces; in particular we will focus on Brieskorn singularities.
