Abstract

We give several equivalent characterisations of the maximal pro-2 quotients of real projective groups. In particular, for pro-2 real projective groups we provide a presentation in terms of generators and relations, and a purely cohomological characterisation. As a consequence we explicitly reconstruct such groups from their mod 2 cohomology rings.
