Vector fields on $S^{4n-1}$ spheres

49 Views Asked by At

I need to prove that there exists 3 independent vector fields on spheres of dimension 4n-1. I decided to try induction on n. The case $S^{3}$ was covered in 2 or 3 chapters back but i have no idea or intuition on how to construct 3 vector fields 4 dimensions up. Where do i even start?

Thanks in advance.
