Defining and classifying TQFTs via surgery
- Abstract:
-
We give a presentation of the n-dimensional oriented cobordism category Cobn with generators corresponding to diffeomorphisms and surgeries along framed spheres, and a complete set of relations. Hence, given a functor F from the category of smooth oriented manifolds and diffeomorphisms to an arbitrary category C, and morphisms induced by surgeries along framed spheres, we obtain a necessary and sufficient set of relations these have to satisfy to extend to a functor from Cobn to C. If C is sy...
