Home > Ehresmann's theorem


In mathematics, Ehresmann's fibration theorem states that a smooth mapping
f:MN

where M and N are smooth manifolds, such that

  1. f is a submersion, and
  2. f is a proper map,

is a locally trivial fibration. This is a foundational result in differential topology, and exists in many further variants. It is due to Charles Ehresmann.
