In particular we introduce the combinatorial notion of a d-dimensional cycle and show that over any field of characteristic 2 the existence of non-zero d-dimensional homology corresponds exactly to the presence of a d-dimensional cycle in the simplicial complex. We also show that d-dimensional cycles give rise to non-zero simplicical homology over any field.Read More
