Formalize the Hopf Fibration
Construct the hopf fibration in such a way that the generator of $\mathbb{S}^3$ is sent to a 3-loop in $\mathbb{S}^2$ constructed using Eckmann-Hilton.
A detailed plan for this may be too much to write out in a comment here. But I'll list a few components that will go into this.
Done or currently being worked on:
- [x] finish dependent universal property of suspensions
- [x] "Universal Property of Fibers of maps": build up infrastructure for working with the family of fibers of a map
f : A --> Bas the initial type family equipped with a section(a : A) --> fib_f (f a). Open tasks - [x] show EH is (more or less) the naturality condition of whiskering a 2-path on the left by a 1-path
- [x] "Eckmann-Hilton in the universe" idea: show that
trsends EH on identifications to EH on homotopies (almost done, missing a few coherences)
Open:
- [ ] descent for $\mathbb{S}^1$, $\mathbb{S}^2$, $\mathbb{S}^3$ ----- related to issue #1122 . This proof works best the the point and n-loop presentation of spheres, which have yet to be postulated.
- [ ] characterizing (higher) homotopies between (homotopies) functions with domain $\mathbb{S}^1$,
- [ ] characterizing homotopies between dependent functions functions with domain $\mathbb{S}^3$.
