Are you confusing me with someone else? When I asked it GPT computed the homology from the CW decomposition of RP^2 with three cells. Which is a very simple exercise.

I recommend that you give it a try.



That's ok. It seems like LLMs know all about simplicial complexes and homology so I'll spend my time on more fruitful endeavors but thanks for the advice.


To be fair, it's not a simplicial complex, but simplicial and cellular homology coincide on triangulatable spaces like RP^2 so I gave it the benefit of the doubt =) algebraic topology is a pretty fun field regardless of how much a language model knows about it IMO.


Do you have a reference for this equivalency?


It's in Hatcher iirc
