Definition of fibration from a compact Kahler manifold to a compact complex curve

53 Views Asked by At

Let $X$ be a compact Kähler manifold and let f be a holomorphic map from $X$ to a compact complex curve $C$. We say that f is a fibration if it is surjective and if its generic fiber is connected.

I wonder if this definition is equivalent to the usual definition of fibration (i.e. with homotopy lifting property)?

Also can you tell me the motivation of this definition?
