Collapse the indicated standard skeleton to a point. Besides its basepoint, the quotient has one cell in dimensions through . Its integral cellular boundary is two in even dimensions and zero in odd dimensions. Steenrod operations on its relative cohomology are inherited from real projective space.
For this quotient, homotopy groups through degree six and in degree eight vanish. The degree-seven and degree-nine groups are . A map to induces an isomorphism on degree-nine integral homology because the relevant square of the bottom mod-two class is nonzero. Two relative Hurewicz steps then compute degrees eight and nine.
