Approximate fibrations provide a useful class of maps. Fibrators give instant detection of maps in this class, and PL fibrators do the same in the PL category. We show that rational homology spheres with some additional conditions are codimension-k PL fibrators and PL manifolds with trivial homology groups in some range can be codimension-k (k > 2) PL fibrators.

If N is any cartesian product of a closed simply connected n-manifold $N_1$ and a closed aspherical m-manifold $N_2$, then N is a codimension 2 fibrator. Moreover, if N is any closed hopfian PL n-manifold with $\pi_iN=0$ for $2 {\leq} i < m$, which is a codimension 2 fibrator, and $\pi_i N$ is normally cohopfian and has no proper normal subroup isomorphic to $\pi_1 N/A$ where A is an abelian normal subgroup of $\pi_1 N$, then N is a codimension m PL fibrator.

Approximate fibrations form a useful class of maps. By definition fibrators provide instant detection of maps in this class, and PL fibrators do the same in the PL category. We show that every closed s-hopfian t-aspherical manifold N with sparsely Abelian, hopfian fundamental group and X(N) $\neq$ 0 is a codimension-(t + 1) PL fibrator.

Approximate fibrations form a useful class of maps. By definition fibrators provide instant detection of maps in this class, and PL fibrators do the same in the PL category. We show that every closed s-hopfian t-aspherical manifold N with some algebraic conditions and X(N) $\neq$ 0 is a codimension-(2t + 2) PL fibrator.

In this paper, we show that any product of a closed orientable n-manifold $N_1$ with finite fundamental group and a closed orientable asgerical m-mainfold $N_2$ with hopfian fundamental group, where X($N_1$) and X($N_2$) are nonzero, is a condimension 2 fibrator. Moreover, if <$\pi_i(N_1)$=0 for 1$N_1\timesN_2$ is a codimension k PL fibrator.

Suppose that F is a closed t-aspherical PL n-manifold with finite, sparsely abelian ${\pi}_1(F)$ and A is a closed aspherical PL m-manifold with hopfian, normally cohopfian ${\pi}_1(A)$. If $X(F){\neq}0{\neq}X(A)$, then $F{\times}A$ is a codimension-(t+1) PL fibrator.

Let N be a Closed n-manifold with residually finite, torsion free $\pi$$_1$(N) and finite H$_1$,(N). Suppose that $\pi$$\_$k/(N)=0 for 1 < k < n-1. We show that N is a codimension-n PL fibrator if and only if N does not cover itself regularly and cyclically up to homotopy type, provided $\pi$$_1$(N) satisfies a certain condition.

Fibrators are closed manifolds which afford instant recognition of approximate fibrations. In this note we determine which 4-manifolds with geometric structure are fibrators.

Let G denote an upper semicontinuous(usc) decomposition of an (n + k)-manifold M into closed, connected n-manifolds. What can be said about the decomposition space B = M/G\ulcorner What regularity properties are possessed by the decomposition map $p : M \to B \ulcorner$ Certain forms of these questions have been addressed by D. Coram and pp. Duvall [C-D].
