Abstract:
It is proved that if $G$ is a compact Lie group, then an equivariant Serre fibration of $G$-CW-complexes is an equivariant Hurewicz fibration in the class of compactly generated $G$-spaces. In the nonequivariant setting, this result is due to Steinberger, West and Cauty. The main theorem is proved using the following key result: a $G$-CW-complex can be embedded as an equivariant retract in a simplicial $G$-complex. It is also proved that an equivariant map $p\colon E\to B$ of $G$-CW-complexes is a Hurewicz $G$-fibration if and only if the $H$-fixed point map $p^H\colon E^H \to B^H$ is a Hurewicz fibration for any closed subgroup $H$ of $G$. This gives a solution to the problem of James and Segal in the case of $G$-CW-complexes.
