= Hopf fibration
{wiki=Hopf_fibration}
The Hopf fibration is a mathematical construction that represents a particular way of decomposing certain spheres into circles. Named after Heinz Hopf, who introduced the concept in 1931, it provides a fascinating connection between topology, geometry, and algebra. Specifically, the Hopf fibration describes a fibration of the 3-sphere \\( S^3 \\) over the 2-sphere \\( S^2 \\) with the fibers being circles \\( S^1 \\).
