This article describes the value (and the process used to compute it) of some homotopy invariant(s) for a topological space or family of topological spaces. The invariant is homology and the topological space/family is compact non-orientable surface

Statement

Suppose k is a positive integer. We denote by Pn (not standard notation, should try to find something) the connected sum of the real projective plane with itself n times, i.e., the connected sum of n copies of the real projective plane.

Unreduced version over the integers

We have:

Hk(Pn;Z)={Z,k=0Zn1Z/2Z,k=10,k2
