An application of the fibration theorem of Ehresmann

An application of the fibration theorem of Ehresmann

The main purpose of the paper is to prove that the map (7) and also its restriction to GL+ (n, IR) is a locaily trivial fibration. From the general theory of fiber bundles we know th a t a bu.ndle map between two C “ -differentiable manifolds is a surjeetive submersion. Here arise a natural problem: given M and N two C00— differentiable manifolds and f: M -> N a smooth surjeetive submersion, find suffi- cient conditions in order th a t f be a locaily trivial fibration. A such condition is given by:
