Homotopy Type of the Space of Fibrations of the Three-sphere by Simple Closed Curves
Dennis Deturck, Ziqi Fang, Herman Gluck +4
We show that the moduli space of all smooth fibrations of a three-sphere by simple closed curves has the homotopy type of a disjoint union of a pair of two-spheres if the fibers ar…

Great Circle Fibrations and Contact Structures on Odd-Dimensional Spheres
Herman Gluck, Jingye Yang
It is known that for every smooth great circle fibration of the 3-sphere, the distribution of tangent 2-planes orthogonal to the fibres is a contact structure, in fact a tight one,…

On the homotopy type of the space of fiberings of by simple closed curves
Yi Wang, Jingye Yang
For most aspherical Seifert-fibered 3-manifolds , the space of Seifert fiberings is known to have contractible components. It is also known that the space of Hopf fiberi…
