Abstract

A theorem is proved characterising representable, multiplicative commutative cohomology theories that split as sums of singular cohomologies after localisation at 2. This theorem is shown to be equivalent to one proved by Würgler and Pazhitnov and Rudyak, for which we provide a simplified proof. We also provide a simple proof of a related theorem of Boardman.
