We describe several conditions under which the product of hopfian manifolds is another hopfian manifold. As applications, the product F ร A of a closed hopfian n-manifold F and a closed orientable aspherical m-manifold A is hopfian when either ฯ 1 (F ) is solvable and ฯ(A) = 0 or ฯ 1 (F ) is finite.

โฆ Synopsis
If a closed n-manifold N has a 2-l covering, we consider the covering space E of N corresponding to H, where H is the intersection of all subgroups H, of index 2 in ~1 (N), i.e., H = n,,, Hi with [T,(N) : Hi] = 2 for i E I. We will show that if nt(N) is residually finite, x(N) # 0, and fi is hopfian, then N is a codimension-2 fibrator. And then, we will also get several results about codimension-2 fibrators as its corollaries.

Every hopfian n-manifold N with hyperhopfian fundamental group is known to be a codimension-2 orientable fibrator. In this paper, we generalize to the non-orientable setting by considering the covering space N of N corresponding to H , where H is the intersection of all subgroups H i of index 2 in ฯ
A closed connected n-manifold N is called a codimension 2 fibrator (codimension 2 orientable fibrator, respectively) if each proper map p : M โ B on an (orientable, respectively) (n+2)-manifold M each fiber of which is shape equivalent to N is an approximate fibration. Let r be a nonnegative integer
