Hopf Map and Quantization on Sphere
Abstract
Quantization of a system constrained to move on a sphere is considered by taking a square root of the ``on sphere condition''. We arrive at the fibre bundle structure of the Hopf map in the cases of S2 and S4. This leads to more geometrical understanding of monopole and instanton gauge structures that emerge in the course of quantization.
