Zeroth canonical homomorphism from singular to Milnor-Thurston homology is injective (Q1790239)

Milnor-Thurston homology (measure homology) is a generalization of singular homology. While the chains in singular homology consist of linear combinations of singular simplices, the chains in Milnor-Thurston homology are measures supported on infinitely many singular simplices. It turns out that the two homology theories coincide on spaces homotopy equivalent to CW complexes. In general, however, the homology theories differ. \par The main result of this paper states that the canonical homomorphism from singular to Milnor-Thurston homology is injective in dimension zero for metrizable spaces. Furthermore, the author proves that the Milnor-Thurston homology of a Polish space with finitely many path-components is the direct sum of the Milnor-Thurston homologies of the mentioned path-components.
