A triple , where and are topological spaces and is a continuous mapping, with the following property (called the property of the existence of a covering homotopy for polyhedra). For any finite polyhedron and for any mappings

there is a mapping

such that , . It was introduced by J.-P. Serre in 1951 (see [1]).

Comments

A Serre fibration is also called a weak fibration. If the defining homotopy lifting property holds for every space (not just polyhedra), is called a fibration or Hurewicz fibre space.
