Homology of an integer torus endomorphism ($(f_A{)}_{\ast }{|}_{H_q}={\bigwedge }^{q}A$)

On the torus ${\mathbb{R}}^d/{\mathbb{Z}}^d$, an integer matrix $A$ defines an endomorphism. The coordinate circles give a basis of the first homology group, and the induced map on that group is $A$. The Künneth theorem identifies higher integral homology with the exterior powers of ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$, so the degree-$q$ map is ${\bigwedge }^{q}A$. In top degree it is multiplication by $\det A$. The map is a homeomorphism precisely when $A$ is a unimodular matrix; a merely nonsingular integer matrix need not have an integer inverse.
