Explicit formula for embedding of real projective spaces into Euclidean spaces

I am interested in representing vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$ in a sign-invariant and efficient manner. That is, I am looking for a function $$f:\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^d$$ such that for $v\...

Specify the embedding of special unitary group in a Spin group via their representation map

How do we specify the embedding of a Lie group $G_1$ as a subgroup into a larger Lie group $G_2$, with $G_1 \subset G_2$ that agree with a constraint on the mapping between their representations? By ...

Transitive embedding of the projective plane $\Bbb R P^2$ into the $4$-sphere

Is there an embedding (i.e. injective continuous map) $$\phi:\Bbb R \Bbb P^2\hookrightarrow S^4\subseteq\Bbb R^5$$ of the projective plane $\Bbb R\Bbb P^2$ into the $4$-sphere, that is ...
