Abstract

We show that the spectrum constructed by Everitt and Turner as a possible Khovanov homotopy type is a product of Eilenberg–MacLane spaces and is thus determined by Khovanov homology. By using the Dold–Thom functor it can therefore be obtained from the Khovanov homotopy type constructed by Lipshitz and Sarkar.
