Integral homology of two real projective planes

ID: integral-homology-of-two-real-projective-planes

Each real projective plane has cells with and . Their product cellular chain complex has ranks . Its degree-two cycle has order two in homology. The degree-three cycle also has order two, because its double is . Consequently , , and all other groups vanish. The degree-three torsion is also the Tor functor term in the Künneth theorem.
