The main objective of this paper is to study the action of the group of differentiate structures Γ2n-1 on the (2n-1)-sphere S2n-1 on the diffeomorphism classes on the real projective (2n-1)-space P2n-1 by connected sum. This is done by considering universal covering spaces of the connected sum where Σ is an exotic (2n-1)-sphere.
