Abstract

The purpose of this note is to complete the classification of metric fibrations in Euclidean space begun in [1]. Building on our techniques there, we show that regardless of dimension, the fibers are always the orbits of a free isometric group action by generalized glide rotations. A key ingredient of the argument is the fact that in the global setting, these fibrations satisfy a strong algebraic rigidity.
