Oct 21, 2009 at 12:40 comment added Tyler Lawson You need that singular chains are free to get the conclusion about the Tor spectral sequence in the first place; the spectral sequence is a general one computing H_(C ⊗_R D) from H_ C and H_* D when C and D are (nonnegative) chain complexes of R-modules with one of them levelwise free. One example is to look at the mod-4 homology of RP^2 x RP^2 from the mod-4 homology of its factors. Having said that, the spectral sequences you get always collapse at E_3 because everything is arising from integral coefficients, but if you leave the higher Tors out it doesn't work.

After all, singular chains are free (by definition!) so the complication of coefficients doesn't arise. Or am I missing something?
