Abstract
Working in univalent foundations, we investigate the symmetries of spheres, i.e., the types of the form . The case of the circle has a slick answer: the symmetries of the circle form two copies of the circle. For higher-dimensional spheres, the type of symmetries has again two connected components, namely the components of the maps of degree plus or minus one. Each of the two components has as fundamental group. For the latter result, we develop an EHP long exact sequence.
