Abstract: | The notion of shape fibration was introduced by Marde?i? and Rushing. In this paper we use ‘fibrant space’ techniques in strong shape theory to prove that every shape fibration p:E → B of compact metric spaces is contained in a map of fibrant spaces p′:E′→B′ which enjoys a certain lifting property and whose homotopy properties reflect the strong shape properties of the map p. Standard methods for studying Hurewicz fibrations are readily applied to the map p' and in this way we obtain a number of strong shape generalizations of results of Marde?i? and Rushing. We also prove the following theorem which answers a question of Rushing: A shape fibration of compact metric spaces which is a strong shape equivalence is an hereditary shape equivalence. Since the converse was known, this gives a characterization of hereditary shape equivalences. |
