Is the composition of two bundle projections necessarily a bundle projection?

I think that the following works: Let $X\to Y$ and $Y\to Z$ be locally trivial fibrations with all spaces paracompact and $Z$ locally contractible (I do not assume that a fibration implies that all fi …

composition of covering map and bundle projection

It is better to just assume that $f$ is a covering space. By shrinking $Z$ we may assume that that $Z$ is a ball and that $Y=Z\times F$. As $X\to Y$ is a covering space and $Z$ is simply-connected the …

"Largest" finite-dimensional Lie subgroups of Diff(S^n), are they known?

For 2) I think the following is an answer: Suppose $K$ is a compact Lie subgroup of $\mathrm{Diff}(S^n)$ of dimension $\geq{n+1\choose 2}$. Being compact it is the group of isometries of some Riemanni …
