diffgeom01 fiber01 Hopf and homotopy

For each point a of S2, the set of points of S3 whose image by f is the point a (that is, the pre-image of a), which we call the fiber over a, is a circle in S3. What is the connection with the preceding explanation: quite simply that all the points of a line z2= a.z1 are such that z2/z1 is constant (obviously, because it equals a !).
