Fibrators help detect approximate fibrations. A closed, connected n-manifol
d N is called a codimension-2 fibrator if each map p : M --> B defined on a
n (n + 2)-manifold M such that all fibre p(-1) (b), b is an element of B, a
re shape equivalent to N is an approximate fibration. The most natural obje
cts N to study are s-Hopfian manifolds. In this note we give some necessary
and sufficient conditions for s-Hopfian manifolds to be codimension-2 fibr
ators.
