Recall that is real projective -space, the quotient of obtained by identifying antipodal points. Consider the standard embedding of as the unit sphere in .
(a) For odd, show that there exists a continuous map such that is orthogonal to , for all .
(b) Exhibit a triangulation of .
(c) Describe the map induced by the antipodal map, justifying your answer.
(d) Show that, for even, there is no continuous map such that is orthogonal to for all .
