Abstract: Let $TOP(M)$ be the simplicial group of homeomorphisms of $ M$. The following theorems are proved.

Theorem A. Let $M$ be a topological manifold of dim $\geq $ 5 with a finite number of tame ends $\varepsilon _{i}$, $1\leq i\leq k$. Let $TOP^{ep}(M)$ be the simplicial group of end preserving homeomorphisms of $M$. Let $W_{i}$ be a periodic neighborhood of each end in $M$, and let $p_{i}: W_{i} \to \mathbb{R}$ be manifold approximate fibrations. Then there exists a map $f: TOP^{ep}(M) \to \prod _{i}  TOP^{ep}(W_{i})$ such that the homotopy fiber of $f$ is equivalent to $TOP_{cs}(M)$, the simplicial group of homeomorphisms of $M$ which have compact support.

Theorem B. Let $M$ be a compact topological manifold of dim $\geq $ 5, with connected boundary $\partial M$, and denote the interior of $M$ by $Int M$. Let $f: TOP(M)\to TOP(Int M)$ be the restriction map and let $\mathcal{G}$ be the homotopy fiber of $f$ over $id_{Int M}$. Then $\pi  _{i}  \mathcal{G}$ is isomorphic to $\pi _{i}   \mathcal{C} (\partial M)$ for $i  > 0$, where $ \mathcal{C} (\partial M)$ is the concordance space of $\partial M$.

Theorem C. Let $q_{0}: W \to \mathbb{R}$ be a manifold approximate fibration with dim $W  \geq $ 5. Then there exist maps $\alpha : \pi _{i}  TOP^{ep}(W) \to \pi _{i}   TOP(\hat W)$ and $\beta : \pi _{i}  TOP(\hat W)  \to \pi _{i}  TOP^{ep}(W)$ for $i                >1$, such that $\beta \circ  \alpha \simeq id$, where $\hat W$ is a compact and connected manifold and $W$ is the infinite cyclic cover of $\hat W$.
