Abstract

In this article, we construct correspondences between polygon spaces in Euclidean spaces of dimension 2,3,5,9 2,3,5,9\ and the quotient spaces of 22-Steifel manifolds along the normed division algebra F\ \mathbb{F} real R\mathbb{R}, complex C\mathbb{C}, quaternions H\mathbb{H}, octonions O\mathbb{O}. For the purpose, we introduce Hopf map on F2 \mathbb{F}^{2}\ and consider the spin action of SU(2,F)SU\left( 2,\mathbb{F}\right) to spinor F2 \mathbb{F}^{2}\ and the induced SO SO\ action to the Euclidean space RF\mathbb{R\oplus F}. The correspondences are extension of the work of Hausmann and Knutson for polygon spaces of dimension 2,3 2,3\ and 22-Grassmannians over real and complex.
