Why is the quotient map $G\rightarrow G/T$ a fibration?

373 Views Asked by At

I have just learnt about fibrations and I saw somewhere the following. Given a compact lie group $G$, one can consider a maximal torus $T$ of $G$ then the quotient map $G\rightarrow G/T$ is a fibration. Does anyone know why this is true? Thanks in advance

This is a corollary of a result of Ehresman: If $p:M\rightarrow N$ is a submersion between compact connected manifolds, it is a locally trivial fibration.
