Spaces of rational loops on a real projective space

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

“…A very general conjecture on this subject is given in the paper of Cohen, Jones and Segal [3]. Several papers [12,17] give real versions of Segal's theorem (the first real version being due to Segal himself in [20]).…”

“…Another situation which has been extensively studied is the case when X and Y are compact complex manifolds and X has dimension one. Segal in [11] proved, among other things, that the inclusion of the space of (based) rational maps of degree d from CP 1 to CP n into the two-fold loop space of CP n is a homotopy equivalence up to dimension (2n − 1)d. The results of [11] were later extended by various authors: see, for example [1], [4], [5], [7], [8]. In all these generalizations X is a curve.…”

“…[2]). Although it has been sometimes stated that these phenomena are inherently related to complex or at least symplectic structures, real analogs of Segal's result were given in [13], [10], [7], [15]. In fact, Segal formulated the complex and real approximation theorems which he had proved as a single statement involving equivariant equivalence, with respect to complex conjugation (see the remark after Proposition 1.4 of [13]).…”
