AbstractSphere{𝔽} <: AbstractEmbeddedManifold{𝔽,DefaultIsometricEmbeddingType}

An abstract type to represent a unit sphere that is represented isometrically in the embedding.

Sphere{n,𝔽} <: AbstractSphere{𝔽}

The (unit) sphere manifold $𝕊^{n}$ is the set of all unit norm vectors in $𝔽^{n+1}$. The sphere is represented in the embedding, i.e.

where $𝔽\in\{ℝ,ℂ,ℍ\}$. Note that compared to the ArraySphere, here the argument n of the manifold is the dimension of the manifold, i.e. $𝕊^{n} ⊂ 𝔽^{n+1}$, $n\in ℕ$.

The tangent space at point $p$ is given by

where $𝔽\in\{ℝ,ℂ,ℍ\}$ and $⟨\cdot,\cdot⟩$ denotes the inner product in the embedding $𝔽^{n+1}$.

For $𝔽=ℂ$, the manifold is the complex sphere, written $ℂ𝕊^n$, embedded in $ℂ^{n+1}$. $ℂ𝕊^n$ is the complexification of the real sphere $𝕊^{2n+1}$. Likewise, the quaternionic sphere $ℍ𝕊^n$ is the quaternionification of the real sphere $𝕊^{4n+3}$. Consequently, $ℂ𝕊^0$ is equivalent to $𝕊^1$ and Circle, while $ℂ𝕊^1$ and $ℍ𝕊^0$ are equivalent to $𝕊^3$, though with different default representations.

This manifold is modeled as a special case of the more general case, i.e. as an embedded manifold to the Euclidean, and several functions like the inner product and the zero_tangent_vector are inherited from the embedding.

Constructor

Sphere(n[, field=ℝ])

Generate the (real-valued) sphere $𝕊^{n} ⊂ ℝ^{n+1}$, where field can also be used to generate the complex- and quaternionic-valued sphere.

ArraySphere{T<:Tuple,𝔽} <: AbstractSphere{𝔽}

The (unit) sphere manifold $𝕊^{n₁,n₂,...,nᵢ}$ is the set of all unit (Frobenius) norm elements of $𝔽^{n₁,n₂,...,nᵢ}$, where 𝔽\in{ℝ,ℂ,ℍ}. The generalized sphere is represented in the embedding, and supports arbitrary sized arrays or in other words arbitrary tensors of unit norm. The set formally reads

where $𝔽\in\{ℝ,ℂ,ℍ\}$. Setting $i=1$ and $𝔽=ℝ$ this simplifies to unit vectors in $ℝ^n$, see Sphere for this special case. Note that compared to this classical case, the argument for the generalized case here is given by the dimension of the embedding. This means that Sphere(2) and ArraySphere(3) are the same manifold.

The tangent space at point $p$ is given by

where $𝔽\in\{ℝ,ℂ,ℍ\}$ and $⟨\cdot,\cdot⟩$ denotes the (Frobenius) inner product in the embedding $𝔽^{n_1, n_2, …, n_i}$.

This manifold is modeled as an embedded manifold to the Euclidean, i.e. several functions like the inner product and the zero_tangent_vector are inherited from the embedding.
