Furthermore, if the fiber is an occ negatively curved manifold with dimension more than $2$, the simplicial volume of the total space is zero if and only if the simplicial volume of the base space is zero.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-11-11T12:07:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C23", "57N65" ], "keywords": [ "simplicial volume", "nonpositively curved fibers", "total space", "smooth fiber bundle", "base space" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
