Spaces of Rational Loops on a Real Projective Space

Jacob Mostovoy

Published 1998-10-02Version 1

We show that the loop spaces of real projective spaces are topologically approximated by the spaces of rational maps from RP(1) to RP(n). As a byproduct of our constructions we obtain an interpretation of the Kronecker characteristic (degree) of an ornament via particle spaces.
