A pure -dimensional simplicial complex is a pseudomanifold when every codimension-one simplex belongs to exactly two top-dimensional simplices and the top simplices are connected through shared codimension-one faces.
Compatible orientations of all top-dimensional simplices make their signed sum a cycle. For a connected pseudomanifold this cycle generates top homology over the integers; if no compatible orientation exists, top integral homology is zero.
