Degrees of maps factoring through real projective space

ID: degrees-of-maps-factoring-through-real-projective-space

For , a self-map of factoring through Real projective space has degree zero when is even, and can have exactly the even degrees when is odd. In the odd case the first map lifts through the double covering and the covering has degree two. The dimension-one exception allows every integer, since .
