Cohomology ring of the antipodal two-sphere mapping torus
ID: cohomology-ring-of-the-antipodal-two-sphere-mapping-torus
The antipodal map on the two-sphere reverses orientation, so its mapping torus is a nonorientable closed three-manifold. The Wang sequence gives , and . The universal coefficient theorem for cohomology therefore gives the cohomology ring with , . The base-circle class satisfies by pullback; the other positive-degree products vanish for dimension reasons.
