Each real projective plane has cells e0​,e1​,e2​ with de2​=2e1​ and de1​=0. Their product cellular chain complex has ranks 1,2,3,2,1. Its degree-two cycle e1​×e1​ has order two in homology. The degree-three cycle e2​×e1​+e1​×e2​ also has order two, because its double is d(e2​×e2​). Consequently H0​=Z, H1​=(Z/2)2, H2​=H3​=Z/2 and all other groups vanish. The degree-three torsion is also the Tor functor term in the Künneth theorem.
