A note on the $(\infty,n)$-category of cobordisms
Published 29 Sep 2015 in math.AT and math.CT | (1509.08906v2)
Abstract: In this extended note we give a precise definition of fully extended topological field theories `a la Lurie. Using complete $n$-fold Segal spaces as a model, we construct an $(\infty,n)$-category of $n$-dimensional cobordisms, possibly with tangential structure. We endow it with a symmetric monoidal structure and show that we can recover the usual category of cobordisms $n\operatorname{Cob}$ and the cobordism bicategory $n\operatorname{Cob}{ext}$ from it.
