Abstract

We describe several conditions under which the product of hopfian manifolds is another hopfian manifold. As applications, the product F × A of a closed hopfian n-manifold F and a closed orientable aspherical m-manifold A is hopfian when either π1(F) is solvable and χ(A) ≠ 0 or π1(F) is finite. Also, the product of any rational homology n-sphere ∑n for which π1 (∑n) is finite and a closed orientable n-manifold N with πi(N) = 0 for 1 < i < n - 1 is hopfian. Using such facts we investigate conditions under which products of codimension-2 (orientable) fibrators are again codimension-2 (orientable) fibrators.
