Feb 28, 2016 at 18:14 comment added Libertron @B.Bischof: Which chapter in Griffiths and Harris has the matrix example?

Feb 28, 2016 at 18:11 comment added Libertron @AllenKnutson: Even-real-dimensional comes from the fact that complex space has twice the dimension of real space, correct?
Feb 28, 2016 at 18:08 comment added B. Bischof A different way to start getting a handle on this is to read the example given in Griffiths and Harris for $\CC$. It is done with matrices which I found more approachable to start with.
Feb 28, 2016 at 18:01 comment added Allen Knutson Since you're asking a topological question (not, say, about Chow groups), it's unlikely to be given an answer with the details you want in an algebraic geometry or combinatorics book. Read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_homology and use the fact that each $Y_p \setminus Y_{p-1}$ is even-real-dimensional to see that the boundary maps vanish.
