Bockstein cohomology 2026-10-06
The degree-one Bockstein homomorphism makes modulo- cohomology into a cochain complex. Its cohomology is the Bockstein cohomology. For prime this is a graded vector space; for composite it is a graded -module. For at modulus two, its only nonzero groups are in degrees zero and three. This is the cohomological counterpart of Bockstein homology.
A one-term summand becomes a one-term complex after reduction modulo . Its Bockstein homomorphism vanishes, so it contributes one summand to Bockstein homology in degree .
