Quaternionic left-invariant frame on the three-sphere

ID: quaternionic-left-invariant-frame-on-the-three-sphere

For , the vectors , and are tangent and orthonormal. Under SU(2) as the three-sphere they are the left-invariant vector fields obtained by translating times the Pauli matrices. This explicitly realizes the parallelization of a Lie group by left translations.
