Other Properties
One sees from the cellular chain complex that the n-skeleton determines all lower-dimensional homology:
for k < n.
An important consequence of the cellular perspective is that if a CW-complex has no cells in consecutive dimensions, all its homology modules are free. For example, complex projective space CPn has a cell structure with one cell in each even dimension; it follows that for 0 ≤ k ≤ n,

Famous quotes containing the word properties:
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
