  [33X[0;0YBy  default,  [5Xsimpcomp[105X uses an algorithm based on discrete Morse theory (see
  Chapter [14X12[114X, [2XSCHomology[102X ([14X7.3-9[114X)) for its homology computations. However, some
  additional (co-)homology related functionality cannot be realised using this
  algorithm. For this, [5Xsimpcomp[105X contains an additional (co-)homology algorithm
  (cf. [2XSCHomologyInternal[102X ([14X8.1-5[114X)), which will be presented in this chapter.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YFurthermore,  whenever  possible  [5Xsimpcomp[105X  makes  use  of  the  [5XGAP[105X package
  ''homology''  [DHSW11],  for  an  alternative  method  to calculate homology
  groups  (cf. [2XSCHomologyClassic[102X ([14X6.9-31[114X)) which sometimes is much faster than
  the built-in discrete Morse theory algorithm.[133X

  simplicial  homology  of a given complex, [5Xsimpcomp[105X is also able to compute a

  [33X[0;0YCalculates the matrix of the boundary operator [22X∂_[3Xk+1[103X[122X of a simplicial complex
  [3Xcomplex[103X. Note that each column contains the boundaries of a [3Xk[103X[22X+1[122X-simplex as a
  list  of oriented [3Xk[103X-simplices and that the matrix is stored as a list of row
  vectors (as usual in GAP).[133X

  [33X[0;0YCalculates  a  set  of basis elements for the [3Xk[103X-dimensional cohomology group
  (with  integer coefficients) of a simplicial complex [3Xcomplex[103X. The entries of
  the  returned  list are of the form [ MODULUS, [ BASEELM1, BASEELM2, ...] ],

  stored  as  lists of coefficient-simplex pairs referring to the linear forms
  dual  to  the simplices in the [22Xk[122X-th cochain complex of [3Xcomplex[103X, i.e. a basis
  element  of  the  form  [22X[  [  λ_1, ∆_i], [λ_2, ∆_j], dots ] dots[122X encodes the

  [33X[0;0YThe  cup  product is a method of adjoining two cocycles of degree [22Xp[122X and [22Xq[122X to
  form a composite cocycle of degree [22Xp + q[122X. It endows the cohomology groups of
  a simplicial complex with the structure of a ring.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0YThe  construction  of  the cup product starts with a product of cochains: if
  [3Xcocycle1[103X  is a p-cochain and [3Xcocylce2[103X is a q-cochain of a simplicial complex
  [3Xcomplex[103X (given as list of oriented p- (q-)simplices), then[133X

  ,..., p + q)[122X[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Ywhere  [22Xσ[122X  is  a  [22Xp  + q[122X-simplex and [22Xι_S[122X, [22XS ⊂ {0,1,...,p+q }[122X is the canonical
  embedding of the simplex spanned by [22XS[122X into the [22X(p + q)[122X-standard simplex.[133X
  
  [33X[0;0Y[22Xσ ∘ ι_0,1, ..., p[122X is called the [22Xp[122X-th front face and [22Xσ ∘ ι_p, p+1, ..., p + q[122X

  [33X[0;0YNote  that  this  function  only  computes  the cup product in the case that
  [3Xcomplex[103X  is an orientable weak pseudomanifold of dimension [22X2k[122X and [22Xp = q = k[122X.
  Furthermore,  [3Xcomplex[103X  must be given in standard labeling, with sorted facet
  list and [3Xcocylce1[103X and [3Xcocylce2[103X must be given in simplex notation and labeled
  accordingly. Note that the latter condition is usually fulfilled in case the
  cocycles were computed using [2XSCCohomologyBasisAsSimplices[102X ([14X8.2-4[114X).[133X

  [33X[0;0YComputes  the  parity  of  the intersection form of a combinatorial manifold
  [3Xcomplex[103X  (see  [2XSCIntersectionForm[102X  ([14X8.2-6[114X)). If the intersection for is even
  (i.  e. all diagonal entries are even numbers) [10X0[110X is returned, otherwise [10X1[110X is
  returned.[133X
