On the signature of fibre bundles and absolute Whitehead torsion

In 1957 Chern, Hirzebruch and Serre proved that the signature of the total space of a fibration of manifolds is equal to the product of the signatures of the base space and the fibre space if the action of the fundamental group of the base space on the fibre is trivial.
