Hopf Map and Quantization on Sphere

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Quantization of a system constrained to move on a sphere is considered by taking a square root of the ``on sphere condition''. We arrive at the fibre bundle structure of the Hopf map in the cases of S2S^{2} and S4S^{4}. This leads to more geometrical understanding of monopole and instanton gauge structures that emerge in the course of quantization.
