For example, in the case of compactification in R\times S^{3}, what can be said about the vector field on this manifold? Since the flow of the linear tangent to the three-dimensional sphere of the vector field is closed, in this case we can talk about the proper rotation of such a vector field, and the revolutions of the proper rotation can be identified with the phase action of the quantum particle S/h. It is also remarkable that the algebra of tangent vector fields of a three-dimensional sphere is isomorphic to su(2). Moreover, if we consider the random walk of this rotating spherical flow over the manifold R\times S^{3}, we obtain the Schrodinger equation for a free quantum particle.
