This partially answers a question of Casson and Gordon (``If D is a homotopy-ribbon disk bounded by a fibered knot, is D fibered?"). In particular, we show the fibration always extends when D has exactly two local minima, extending a result of Scharlemann for the unknot. More generally, we construct movies of singular fibrations on 4-manifolds and describe a sufficient property of a movie to imply the underlying 4-manifold is fibered over S^1.en4-manifoldfibrationknotribbonslicetopologyMathematicsAcademic dissertations (Ph.D.)
