Proving Hopf's Fibration $pi: mathbb{S}^{2n+1}tomathbb{CP}^n$ is a submersion












1












$begingroup$



Prove that the following map is a smooth, surjective submersion:



begin{align*}
pi:mathbb{S}^{2n+1}&tomathbb{CP}^n\
(x_0,y_0,...,x_n,y_n)&mapsto [x_0+iy_0:...:x_n+iy_n]
end{align*}




The surjectivity is immediate. I've also verified smoothness by considering the map $mathbb{R}^{2n+2}setminus{0}to mathbb{CP}^n$ with the same law and using the fact that $mathbb{S}^{2n+1}subset mathbb{R}^{2n+2}setminus{0}$ is an embbededing.



Now to prove $pi$ is a submersion, I could use the standard approach of calculating the local formula for $dpi$ and prove it has maximal rank. But that is obviously not the most pleasant thing to do.



I wonder if there is a more clever way or some kind of shorcut for this.

          $S^{2n+1}subset mathbb{C}^{n+1}$. Let $p:mathbb{C}^{n+1}-{0}$ be the quotient map, it is a submersion. For every $zin mathbb{C}^{n+1}-{0}$, $uin T_z(mathbb{C}^{n+1}-{0})$, $dp_zu=0$ if and only if $u=cz$. Suppose now $zin S^{2n+1}$, $T_zS^{2n+1}={u:langle z,urangle=0}$. This implies that $ker dp_zcap T_zS^{2n+1}=Vect_{mathbb{R}}{iz}$ and the dimension of the image of $dp_z(TS^{2n+1})$ is $2n$.
