Abstract

The paper is devoted to the problem when a map from some closed connected manifold to an aspherical closed manifold approximately fibers, i.e., is homotopic to manifold approximate fibration. We define obstructions in algebraic K-theory. Their vanishing is necessary and under certain conditions sufficient. Basic ingredients are Quinn’s thin h-cobordism theorem and end theorem, and knowledge about the Farrell–Jones conjectures in algebraic K- and L-theory and the MAF-rigidity conjecture by Hughes–Taylor–Williams.
