 Top-degree differential forms on even-dimensional real projective space are exact

For the double covering $\pi :S^{2n}\to {\mathbb{RP}}^{2n}$ and the antipodal map $a$, every pulled-back top form satisfies $a^{\ast }{\pi }^{\ast }\omega ={\pi }^{\ast }\omega$. Since $\mathrm{deg}a=-1$, its integral over the sphere is its own negative and hence vanishes. It is therefore exact on the sphere. Averaging a primitive under $a$ and descending it proves that $\omega$ is exact on real projective space.
