Abstract

Let ff be a polynomial map from Rm\mathbb R^m to Rn\mathbb R^n with m>n>0m>n>0 and t0t_0 be a regular value of ff. For a small open ball Dt0D_{t_0} centered at t0t_0, we show that the map f:f1(Dt0)Dt0f:f^{-1}(D_{t_0})\to D_{t_0} is a Serre fibration if and only if ff is a Serre fibration over a finite number of certain simple arcs starting at t0t_0. We characterize the fibration f:f1(Dt0)Dt0f:f^{-1}(D_{t_0})\to D_{t_0} by relative homotopy groups defined for these arcs and use it to prove the assertion.
