Abstract:We obtain explicit formulas for the trivialization functions of the SU(3) principal bundle G 2 → 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 π 5 (SU (3)).Let U 1 = S 6 \{S} and U 2 = S 6 \{N } be two affine charts on S 6 , where S and N are the south and north poles. Here we consider S 6 as the unit six-spherein the 7-dime… Show more
