โฆ Synopsis
Fibrators are manifolds which, in context, automatically induce approximate fibrations. This paper sets forth a new method for constructing nonfibrators, by establishing that a closed connected manifold N fails to be a codimension k + 1 fibrator provided there exists a homeomorphism h of N ร S k onto itself such that proj โข h : N ร {point} โ N is not a homotopy equivalence. Consequently, real projective n-space fails to be a codimension n + 1 fibrator, and certain manifolds covered by S 3 fail to be codimension 4 fibrators.

We show that the assertion that every vector space is a projective module implies the axiom of multiple choice and that the reverse implication does not hold in set theory weakened to permit the existence of atoms.
