The Dold–Thom theorem via factorization homology

Abstract

We give a new proof of the classical Dold-Thom theorem by using factorization homology. Our method is new, quick, and more direct, avoiding the Eilenberg-Steenrod axioms entirely and, in particular, making no use of the theory of quasi-fibrations.
