The Transition Function of $G_2$ over $S^6$
Ádám Gyenge Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford, UK
Abstract:
We obtain explicit formulas for the trivialization functions of the ${\rm SU}(3)$ principal bundle $G_2 \to S^6$ 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 $\pi_{5}({\rm SU}(3))$.
Keywords:
$G_2$, six-sphere, octonions, fibration, transition function.
