Abstract: This paper provides further investigation of the concept of shape mmsimpl-fibrators (previously introduced by the author). The main results identify shape mmsimpl-fibrators among direct products of Hopfian manifolds. First it is established that every closed orientable manifold homotopically determined by pi1 with coperfectly Hopfian group (a new class of Hopfian groups that are introduced here) is a shape mmsimplo-fibrator if it is a codimension-2 fibrator (Theorem 5.4). The main result (Theorem 6.2) states that the direct product of two closed orientable manifolds (of different dimension) homotopically determined by pi1 and with coperfectly Hopfian fundamental groups (one normally incommensurable with the other one) is a shape mmsimplo-fibrator, if it is a Hopfian manifold and a codimension-2 fibrator.


There is a series of results that investigate proper PL approximate fibration maps \(p:M^{n+k}\to B\) having a closed manifold \(N^n\) as the fiber. A natural question is: which manifold \(N\) may be a fiber, forcing \(p\) to be an approximate fibration. The same author in a previous paper [Topology Appl. 153, No. 15, 2765--2781 (2006; Zbl 1099.57021)] introduced a closed orientable \(n\)-manifold \(N\), called codimension-\(k\)-shape \(\mathrm{m}_{\text{simpl}}\) fibrator that is forcing a PL map \(p:M\to B\) from any closed orientable \((n+k)\)-manifold \(M\) to a triangulated manifold \(B\), such that each point inverse has the same homotopy type as \(N\), to be an approximate fibration. The paper under review applies the concept of \(\mathrm{m}_{\text{simpl}}\) fibrator to the product of manifolds and identifies it among direct products of Hopfian manifolds. Among algebraic preparations the author introduces a class of coperfectly Hopfian groups (such are e.g. all finitely generated Abelian groups). All this is prepared for treating direct products and the obtained result says: The direct product of two closed orientable manifolds homotopically determined by \(\pi_1\) and with coperfectly Hopfian fundamental groups is a shape \(\mathrm{m}_{\text{simpl}}\)o-fibrator if it is a Hopfian manifold and a codimension-2 shape \(\mathrm{m}_{\text{simpl}}\)o-fibrator.
