Bridges 2015: a gathering of mathematicians, artists, educators, musicians, poets, computer scientists, sculptors, dancers, weavers and model builders from around the world. John H. Conway and Ingrid Daubechies gave plenary talks, and there were sessions, workshops, art exhibition, performances, Family Day, and exhibits. Whether you were there or not, see highlights of this wonderful conference on mathematics connections in art, music, and science at http://bit.ly/1UB13BL, and see works by some of the participants on Mathematical Imagery at http://bit.ly/1UB15JW.

Hyperbolic Hopf Fibrations

Hyperbolic Hopf Fibrations The Hopf Fibration of S^3 is amazing and beautiful.  Rather than describe it here, I'll point you to a lovely online reference with pictures and videos by Niles Johnson. nilesjohnson.net/hopf.html To understand it better (and fibrations in general), I recommend this talk by Niles too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXDQsmL-8Us It turns out there is an analogue of the Hopf fibration for H^3.  In fact, there is not just one "fiberwise homogenous" fibration in the hyperbolic case.  There is a 2-parameter family of them, plus one additional fibration that does not fit the family.  As with S^3, fibers in the H^3 cases are geodesics.  They are ultraparallel in fibrations from the family, and parallel in the exceptional fibration.  I found the following dissertation by Haggai Nuchi a good intro and resource to help think about all this. www.math.upenn.edu/grad/dissertations/NuchiThesis.pdf I'm posting three early pictures of H^3 fibrations below, labeled
