For the elementary complex with differential , reduction modulo is acyclic if . If , its mod- homology has one in each of degrees and , and the Bockstein from the upper group to the lower group is multiplication by modulo . It is an isomorphism when , so its Bockstein homology vanishes. It is zero when , so both classes survive and contribute to and to .
