Shchepin's local triviality conjecture for Serre fibrations

Let p ⁣:EBp\colon E\to B be a Serre fibration, where BB is a locally arcwise connected metric space, and suppose that every fiber of pp is homeomorphic to a fixed manifold MnM^n of dimension n4n\leq 4. Shchepin's conjecture. The fibration pp is locally trivial. This is a central problem concerning when a Serre fibration with manifold fibers is a locally trivial bundle. The paper proves existence of local sections for fibrations with fibers homeomorphic to a fixed compact three-dimensional manifold, but the stated local-triviality claim remains unresolved in the supplied context.
