Under construction
The octonionic Hopf fibration is the fibration
of the 15-sphere over the 8-sphere with fiber the 7-sphere. This may be derived by the Hopf construction on the 7-sphere with its Moufang loop structure.
Alternatively, we may construct a fibration by first decomposing into the octonionic lines,
and .
In this way the fibration is obtained, with fibers , and the intersection with the unit sphere provides the octonionic Hopf fibration (see OPPV 12, p. 7).
This second construction yields the standard parameterization of the octonionic Hopf fibration via (in one chart) and (in the other), while the Hopf construction gives . The latter yields the generator of , while the former yields .
The automorphism group G₂ of the octonions, as a normed algebra, manifestly acts on the octonionic Hopf fibration, such that the latter is equivariant.
(see also Cook-Crabb 93)
But the octonionic Hopf fibration is equivariant even with respect to the Spin(9)-action, the one on induced from the canonical action of on , and on induced from the canonical inclusion .
(Gluck-Warner-Ziller 86, Prop. 7.1)
This equivariance is made fully manifest by realizing the octonionic Hopf fibration as a map of coset spaces as follows (Ornea-Parton-Piccinni-Vuletescu 12, p. 7):
The complex and quaternionic Hopf fibrations are not subfibrations of the octonionic one (Parton & Piccinni 18, p. 4).
The octonionic Hopf fibration does not admit any subfibration? (Parton & Piccinni 18, p. 13).
