Mod-two cohomology ring of the antipodal two-sphere mapping torus
ID: mod-two-cohomology-ring-of-the-antipodal-two-sphere-mapping-torus
Modulo two the antipodal map acts trivially on fiber cohomology. The Wang sequence supplies a class restricting to the generator of . The Leray-Hirsch theorem with classes gives a basis , so . Pullback from the circle gives , while dimension gives . This cohomology ring agrees with that of , although the original manifold is nonorientable.
