Codimension 2 fibrators that are closed under finite product (Q1273345)

Summary: The authors show that if \(N^m\) is a closed manifold with hyper-Hopfian fundamental group, \(\pi_i(N)=0\) for \(1<i\leq n\) and if \(S^n\) is a simply connected manifold, then \(N^m\times S^n\) satisfies the property that all proper, surjective maps from an orientable \((n+2)\)-manifold \(M\) to a 2-manifold \(B\) for which each \(p^{-1}(b)\) is homotopy equivalent to \(N^m\times S^n\) necessarily are approximate fibrations.
