The octonionic phase space Hopf map

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-09-08 v1

Abstract

The octonionic Hopf map, expressing S15S^{15} as an S7S^7 bundle over S8S^8, appears in the twistor transform in 10 dimensions, S8S^8 playing the r\^ole of the celestial sphere. A symplectic lift to twistor space manifests Spin(2,10)Spin(2,10) symmetry. The 25-dimensional spinor orbit of Spin(2,10)Spin(2,10) is an S7S^7 bundle over the phase space of a massless particle.
