Serre fibration conjecture for flexible Weinstein structures

Let η\eta be a nonempty homotopy class of nondegenerate 22-forms on a domain or manifold of dimension 2n>42n>4. Let Morsen\mathfrak{Morse}_n be the space of Morse functions whose critical points all have index at most nn, and let Weinsteinηflex\mathfrak{Weinstein}_\eta^\mathrm{flex} be the space of flexible Weinstein structures (ω,X,ϕ)(\omega,X,\phi) whose symplectic form ω\omega lies in η\eta. The map

M:WeinsteinηflexMorsen\mathfrak{M}:\mathfrak{Weinstein}_\eta^\mathrm{flex}\to\mathfrak{Morse}_n

sends a flexible Weinstein structure to its Morse function. Serre fibration conjecture. On a domain or manifold of dimension 2n>42n>4, the map

M:WeinsteinηflexMorsen\mathfrak{M}:\mathfrak{Weinstein}_\eta^\mathrm{flex}\to\mathfrak{Morse}_n

is a Serre fibration with contractible fibers. The preceding theorem establishes surjectivity, path-connected fibers, and path lifting, but the stronger Serre-fibration and contractible-fiber statement is not resolved in the supplied text.
