Abstract:
Let $Y\hookrightarrow Z\underrightarrow \pi X$ be a locally trivial fiber bundle in the category of oriented topological manifolds. It is shown that if the identity component of the structure group $G$ has finite index, then (signature of $Z$)=(signature of $X$) $\blacksquare$ (signature of $Y$).References
