Abstract:

In this paper a previously proven uniqueness theorem for nonnegative cohomology theories on the same space is extended to cohomology theories on the same finite-dimensional space. In this form it is applicable to extraordinary cohomology theories. An example is given to show that the theorem does not hold without finite dimensionality.
