Let K be an infinite field of characteristic not 2. Let qx, qY be nonsingular quadratic forms on vector spaces X, Y over K, respectively. Assume that there is a bilinear map B:X × Y → Y such that qY(B(x, y)) = qx(x)qY(y). To each such triple {qx, qY, B} one associates the Hopf map h: Z = X × Y → W = K × Y by h(z) = (qx(x) – qY(y), 2B(x, y)), z = (x, y).
