Jan 16, 2015 at 16:57 comment added nikita I see what you are saying, but then what could be the map $\sigma: S^3-L'\to S^1$ they are talking about?
Jan 15, 2015 at 14:46 comment added Ken Baker The link $L'$ in $S^3$ (the surgery dual of the link $L$ in $Y$) is not necessarily a fibered link. If the knot $K$ is the remaining component of the binding $B$ in $Y$, then after surgery on $L$, in $S^3$ we see that $L'$ is a closed pure braid with $K$ as a braid axis. Generically a link that is the closure of a pure braid is not fibered. But Gay and Stipsicz do not claim $L'$ is fibered. From a glance, it appears that the function of $S^3$ here is that it is a homology sphere so that $L'$ will be null-homologous.
