Hopf Map
The first example discovered of a map from a higher-dimensional sphere to a lower-dimensional sphere which is not null-homotopic. Its discovery was a shock to the mathematical community, since it was believed at the time that all such maps were null-homotopic, by analogy with homology groups.
The Hopf map
arises in many contexts, and can be generalized to a map
. For any point
in the sphere, its preimage
is a circle
in
. There are several descriptions of the Hopf map, also called the Hopf fibration.
As a submanifold of
, the 3-sphere is
{(X_1,X_2,X_3,X_4):X_1^2+X_2^2+X_3^2+X_4^2=1}, " src="https://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/HopfMap/NumberedEquation1.gif" style="height:21px; width:284px" /> |

and the 2-sphere is a submanifold of

The Hopf map takes points (

,
,
) on a 3-sphere to points on a 2-sphere (
,
,
)
Every point on the 2-sphere corresponds to a circle called the Hopf circle on the 3-sphere.

By stereographic projection, the 3-sphere can be mapped to
, where the point at infinity corresponds to the north pole. As a map, from
, the Hopf map can be pretty complicated. The diagram above shows some of the preimages
, called Hopf circles. The straight red line is the circle through infinity.
By associating
with
, the map is given by
, which gives the map to the Riemann sphere.

is a complex line bundle on
. In fact, the set of line bundles on the sphere forms a group under vector bundle tensor product, and the bundle
generates all of them. That is, every line bundle on the sphere is
for some
.
The sphere
is the Lie group of unit quaternions, and can be identified with the special unitary group
, which is the simply connected double cover of
. The Hopf bundle is the quotient map
