Abstract: Let X be a finitistic space having the mod 2 cohomology algebra of the product of two projective spaces. We study free involutions on X and determine the possible mod 2 cohomology algebra of orbit space of any free involution, using the Leray spectral sequence associated to the Borel fibration XhookrightarrowXmathbbZ2longrightarrowBmathbbZ2. We also give an application of our result to show that if X has the mod 2 cohomology algebra of the product of two real projective spaces (respectively complex projective spaces), then there does not exist any mathbbZ2-equivariant map from mathbbSkoX for kgeq2 (respectively kgeq3), where mathbbSk is equipped with the antipodal involution.
