Abstract: We study geometrical aspects of the space of fibrations between two given manifolds M and B, from the point of view of Frechet geometry. As a first result, we show that any connected component of this space is the base space of a Frechet-smooth principal bundle with the identity component of the group of diffeomorphisms of M as total space. Second, we prove that the space of fibrations is also itself the total space of a smooth Frechet principal bundle with structure group the group of diffeomorphisms of the base B.

Review text

The authors study geometrical properties of the space Fib\((M,B)\) of all smooth (locally trivial) fibrations \({\pi}: M\to B\), with \(M\) and \(B\) smooth finite-dimensional manifolds, or, equivalently, the space of all smooth surjective submersions from \(M\) to \(B\). If \(M\) is a closed manifold, the latter space is known to be an open subset of the Fréchet manifold of all smooth maps \(C^{\infty}(M,B)\); proved e.g. by \textit{R. S. Hamilton} in his comprehensive study of the inverse function theorem of Nash and Moser [Bull. Am. Math. Soc., New Ser. 7, 65--222 (1982; Zbl 0499.58003)]. In the first main result it is proved that any connected component of \({\pi}: M\to B\) is the base space of a smooth Fréchet principal bundle with the identity component of the group of diffeomorphisms of \(M\) as total space. In a second main result it is proved that the full space \({\pi}: M\to B\) is the total space of a smooth Fréchet principal bundle with the group of diffeomorphisms of \(B\) as structure group. The authors announce that the study in the present paper is part of a larger project dealing with the study of the space of Lagrangian fibrations of symplectic manifolds, to derive applications to the theory of Hamiltonian completely integrable systems.
