Abstract
Kitchloo and Wilson have used the homotopy fixed points spectrum ER(2) of the classical complex-oriented Johnson-Wilson spectrum E(2) to deduce certain non-immmersion results for real projective spaces. ER(n) is a -periodic spectrum. The key result to use is the existence of a stable cofibration connecting the real Johnson-Wilson spectrum with the classical one. The value of is . We extend Kitchloo-Wilson's results on non-immersions of real projective spaces by computing the second real Johnson-Wilson cohomology ER(2) of the odd-dimensional real projective spaces . This enables us to solve certain non-immersion problems of projective spaces using obstructions in ER(2)-cohomology.
