Low-degree integral homology of a mod-two Eilenberg–MacLane space

ID: low-degree-integral-homology-of-a-mod-two-eilenberg-maclane-space

For , the first four possible degrees have integral groups in degrees . Mod-two Betti numbers count cyclic summands, while the nonzero first Bockstein actions on show that their orders are two. This prevents mistaking a nonzero mod-two group for a higher-order integral cyclic group.
