LetPnbe a simplen-polytope with a Z2-characteristic functionλ. Andhis a Morse function overPn. Then the small coverMn(λ) corresponding to the pair (Pn,λ) has a cell structure given byh. From this cell structure we can derive a cellular chain complex ofMn(λ) with integer coefficients. In this paper, firstly, we discuss the highest dimensional boundary morphism∂nof this cellular chain complex and get that∂n= 0 or 2 by a natural way. And then, from the well-known result that the submanifold corresponding to (F,λF) is naturally a small cover with dimensionk, whereFis anyk-face ofPnandλFis the restriction ofλonF, we get that∂k= 0 or ±2 for 0 ≤k<n. Finally, by using the definition of inherited characteristic function which is the restriction ofλon the faces ofPn, we get a way to calculate the homology groups ofMn(λ). Applying our result to a 3-small cover we have that the homology groups of any 3-small cover is torsion-free or has only 2-torsion.
