The Transition Function of $G_2$ over $S^6$

Differential Geometry 2019-10-10 v3

Abstract

We obtain explicit formulas for the trivialization functions of the SU(3){\rm SU}(3) principal bundle G2S6G_2 \to S^6 over two affine charts. We also calculate the explicit transition function of this fibration over the equator of the six-sphere. In this way we obtain a new proof of the known fact that this fibration corresponds to a generator of π5(SU(3))\pi_{5}({\rm SU}(3)).
