Is an affine fibration over an affine space necessarily trivial?
Let $X$ be an algebraic variety over an alg. closed field with zero char. and let $f:X\to \mathbb{A}^n$ be a smooth surjective morphism, such that all fibers (at closed points) are isomorphic to $\...

Flatness in Algebraic Geometry vs. Fibration in Topology
I am currently trying to get my head around flatness in algebraic geometry. In particular, I'm trying to relate the notion of flatness in algebraic geometry to the notion of fibration in algebraic ...

Cohomology of fibrations over the circle
Are there any general results on the (integral) cohomology of manifolds that are fibrations over the circle? Any literature references much appreciated.

Multiplicativity of Euler characteristic for non-orientable fibrations
Let $E\to B$ be a fibration with fiber F, and assume for simplicity that B is connected. Suppose moreover that B and F have Euler characteristics (perhaps they are manifolds). Then often, one can ...

Uniformization of Kodaira fibered surfaces
Consider a Kodaira fibration. i.e. a smooth non-isotrivial fibration $X\rightarrow C$ with $X$ a smooth complex surface and $C$ a smooth complex curve, such that both the genus of $C$ and genus of the ...

Constructively, are all fibrations cloven?
A "cloven fibration" is a fibration for which we have an explicit choice of cartesian liftings; this is often phrased as, "We can pick a lifting without using the axiom of choice".
Firstly, I'm a bit ...

A fibrant-objects structure on Top
(Sorry for the crossposting, but I'm really interested in this question).
One can define (Paragraph 1.5, page 10) a fibrant-object structure on a suitable cartesian closed category of topological ...

Is the counit of geometric realization a Serre fibration?
Recall that a Serre fibration between topological spaces is a map which has the homotopy lifting property (HLP) for all CW complexes (equivalently for all disks $D^k$). The Serre fibrations are the ...

construct the elliptic fibration of elliptic k3 surface
Hi all,
As we know, every elliptic k3 surface admits an elliptic fibration over $P^1$, but generally how do we construct this fibration? For example, how to get such a fibration for Fermat quartic?

Are all homotopy equivalences realized by fibrations over [0,1]?
Given two homotopy equivalent spaces $X$ and $Y$, does there always exist a Hurewicz fibration $p: E\rightarrow [0,1]$ with $p^{-1} (0) = X$ and $p^{-1} (1)=Y$?
This issue shows up in the accepted ...

Request: A Serre fibration that is not a Dold fibration
A Serre fibration has the homotopy lifting property with respect to the maps $[0,1]^n \times \{0\} \to [0,1]^{n+1}$. A Dold fibration $E \to B$ has the weak covering homotopy property: lifts with ...

global fibrations of simplicial sheaves
I'm reading the classical Brown-Gersten's paper "Algebraic K-theory as generalized sheaf cohomology" and I'm stuck with their choose of global fibrations. Namely, a morphism of simplicial sheaves $p : ...

Which maps of simplicial sets geometrically realize to fibrations?
If $f:X\to Y$ is a Kan fibration of simplicial sets, then its geometric realization $|f| : |X|\to |Y|$ is (in some suitable convenient category of topological spaces, like compactly generated ones) a ...

Madsen-Tillmann spectrum $MTE$ of the group $E$ which is defined in Freed-Hopkins's paper
In Freed-Hopkins's paper, the group $E(d)$ is defined to be the subgroup of $O(d)\times\mathbb{Z}_4$ consisting of the pairs $(A,j)$ such that $\det A=j^2$, where $\mathbb{Z}_4=\{\pm1,\pm\sqrt{-1}\}$ ...

Pullback-stable model of fibrewise suspension of fibrations (in simplicial sets, or similar setting)
Given a fibration $p : Y \to X$ in simplicial sets (or any other model category), there are various ways to construct its fibrewise suspension, i.e. its suspension as an object of the slice $\...

Quasi-unipotent monodromy for general families

Let $p:E\rightarrow ...

A fibration of classifying spaces
Let $G$ be a Lie group, $N$ a closed connected normal subgroup. Let $BG$, $BN$, $B(G/N)$ be the classifying spaces of $G,N$ and $G/N$. Is there a fibration $BN\to BG\to B(G/N)$ ?
It seems that such a ...

How can I see that the slice of a presheaf category is equivalent to the presheaf category of the category of elements?
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a small category and $P$ a presheaf on $\mathcal{C}$. Then there is an equivalence $$\widehat{\mathcal{C}} / P \cong \widehat{\int_{\mathcal{C}}} P$$ Now there are (at least) two ...
