Relation between transport functor of a fibration and a Hurewicz connection on it












5












$begingroup$


Let $Aoverset{alpha}{rightarrow}B$ be a (Hurewicz) fibration.




  • The homotopy lifting property w.r.t a fiber $alpha ^{-1}(b)$
    furnishes for each path $bto b^prime$ in the base a continuous map
    $alpha ^{-1}(b)to alpha ^{-1}(b^prime)$. Moreover, this
    assignment extends to a functor $pi_1Blongrightarrow
    mathsf{hTop}$
    .

  • On the other hand, as a fibration $begin{smallmatrix}A\downarrow\Bend{smallmatrix}$ admits a Hurewicz connection $s$. Given such a connection it is tempting to send a path $boverset{gamma}{to} b^prime $ in the base to the following set function (analogously to covering space theory) $$alpha^{-1}(b)longrightarrow alpha ^{-1}(b^prime),quad amapsto operatorname{eval}_1s(a,gamma).$$ I suspect this set function might be continuous, but I see no reason for it to be a homotopy equivalence, since $s(a,gamma)$ need not be related in a nice way to lifts of opposite path $boverset{bargamma}{leftarrow} b^prime $.


Questions.




  1. Is fiber transport along a Hurewicz connection continuous?

  2. (Assuming continuity) Is fiber transport along a Hurewicz connection functorial?

  3. (Assuming continuity) Does it coincide with the first transfer functor?

  4. Suppose the fibers are all homeomorphic. Are there any interesting conditions that make the transport functor $pi_1Blongrightarrow mathsf{hTop}$ lift to $mathsf{Top}$? That is, can we obtain such homeomorphisms via transport?




I thought about possible functoriality of the transport along the Hurewicz connection. We want $operatorname{eval}_1(a,delta ast gamma)=operatorname{eval}_1s(operatorname{eval}_1s(a,gamma),delta,)$. We may consider the concatenation $s(operatorname{eval}_1s(a,gamma),delta)ast s(a,gamma)$ which seems to lift $delta ast gamma$, but I'm not quite sure where to go from here.
