As is well known, the Hopf fibration S3 → S2 is the restriction of the map h: R4 → R3 given by , a system of three quadratic forms [2]. Since spheres and the map are defined by polynomials with coefficients in Q, the original setting can be considered as a localization at infinity of the underlying algebraic sets and morphism defined over Q. This makes one think of the arithmetic of the Hopf maps.
