Mar 11, 2011 at 17:39 comment added Charles Rezk Yep, I do mean to use $Z/p$ coefficients. You can lift this counterexample to integral cohomology: the $x\in H^2(C_p,Z/p)$ is the image of $\tilde{x}\in H^2(C_p,Z)$, and its still true that $\tau(\tilde{x})=0$ and $\tau(\tilde{x}^{p-1})\neq0$ in $H^*(\Sigma_p,Z)$.
Mar 11, 2011 at 16:49 comment added Neil Strickland @Ralph: Charles secretly means to take cohomology everywhere with coefficients in $\Z/p$, and $p$ is secretly an odd prime.
Mar 11, 2011 at 16:28 comment added Ralph But $H^2(\Sigma_3) = \mathbf{Z}/2$ (see Adem-Miglgram: "Cohomology of finite groups", Lemma IV.6.3)!
