Work with coefficients ${\mathbb{F}}_2$. For $n\ge 1$, the mod-two cohomology ring of real projective space and the Künneth theorem givewhere all three generators have degree one. Any induced map on cohomology has $f^{\ast }z=\alpha x+\beta y$, with $\alpha ,\beta \in {\mathbb{F}}_2$. By naturality of the cup product, the only possible term in top degree isAll other terms vanish because their exponent of $x$ or $y$ exceeds $n$. Butis even for every $n\ge 1$. Thus the displayed top-degree induced map on cohomology is zero for every $f$.

Both top-degree homology groups are one-dimensional over ${\mathbb{F}}_2$, and their dual cohomology groups pair with them nondegenerately. Naturality of this evaluation makes $f_{\ast }$ dual to $f^{\ast }$, so $f_{\ast }$ is also zero and cannot be an isomorphism. This is the mod-two degree obstruction for equal projective factors. ConsequentlyIf zero is included among the allowed values, ${\mathbb{RP}}^0$ is a point and the unique map is an isomorphism on $H_0$. In that convention, the only value is $n=0$.
