I know that Hopf fibrations (the four ones) are the only ones that have the form
$S^k \to S^m \to S^n$, but I never seen a proof. Could anyone link me a paper or text where this is proved, or prove it for me?



How can I prove that Hopf fibrations are the only ones with fiber, total space and base space homeomorphic to spheres?
