Abstract:
Fibrators help detect approximate fibrations. A closed, connected -manifold is called a codimension-2 fibrator if each map defined on an -manifold such that all fibre , are shape equivalent to is an approximate fibration. The most natural objects to study are s-Hopfian manifolds. In this note we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for s-Hopfian manifolds to be codimension-2 fibrators.
