A new approach to fibrewise fibrations and cofibrations (Q1612249)

The authors study the fibrewise (pointed) homotopy, fiberwise (pointed) fibration and fibrewise (pointed) cofibration in the category MAP, whose objects are continuous maps \(p:X\to B\) between topological spaces \(X\) and \(B\), and morphisms from \(p_1:X_1\to B_1\) to \(p_2:X_2\to B_2\) are pairs \((\varphi, \alpha)\) of continuous maps \(\varphi:X_1\to X_2\) and \(\alpha:B_1\to B_2\) such that \(p_2\circ \varphi=\alpha \circ p_1\). The authors obtain results which generalize some of those presented in [\textit{I. M. James}, Fibrewise topology, Camb. Tracts Math. 91 (1989; Zbl 0671.55001)], where the results concern the category \(\text{MAP}_B\) obtained from MAP by fixing a topological space \(B=B_1=B_2\) and setting \(\alpha=id_B\).
