Idea

Classically, the circle can be viewed as the subset of the complex numbers of absolute value 1. The absolute value of a product of complex numbers is the product of their absolute values. This implies that when we multiply two complex numbers on the unit circle, the result is a complex number on the unit circle. This multiplicative structure carries over to the homotopy type of the circle.
