The Smale invariants of an immersed projective space

Extract
This note approaches the immersion/embedding problem for real projective n-space Pn in Rn+k by viewing the Smale invariant of the induced immersion Sn → Pn → Rn + k as an obstruction to extending to an immersion of Pn + 1 in Rn + k. First steps in this direction were taken in (8), by studying the elementary problem of extending axial maps.
