In recent years, the problem of embedding the projective spaces in Euclidean spaces was studied very much, by different methods. Usually, the negative results on the embedding problem are proved by using suitable homotopy invariants. The best known example of such homotopy invariants is given by the Stiefel–Whitney classes.
