What I expected was something about the fiber bundles with fiber S3 and basis S4 and the similar objects with basis CP2. The former have SO(8) symmetry, the later have SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1).<br /><br />Perhaps some other will think about this; at least this work has the virtue of giving an example (and a full appendix) about how to relate CP2 and S4. It is important because almost nobody knows that one is the branched covering of the other.Alejandro Riverohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181521111080562335noreply@blogger.com
