Abstract

We verify a construction which, for K\Bbb K the reals, complex numbers, quaternions, or octonions, builds a spherical tt-design by placing a spherical tt-design on each K\Bbb K-projective or K\Bbb K-Hopf fiber associated to the points of a t/2\lfloor t/2\rfloor-design on a quotient projective space KPnOP2\Bbb{KP}^n\neq\Bbb{OP}^2 or sphere. This generalizes work of K\"{o}nig and Kuperberg, who verified the K=C\Bbb K=\Bbb C case of the projective settings, and of Okuda, who (inspired by independent observation of this construction by Cohn, Conway, Elkies, and Kumar) verified the K=C\Bbb K=\Bbb C case of the generalized Hopf settings.
