Topological quantum field theories (aspects of differential topology) (57R56)

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 $noperatornameCob$ and the cobordism bicategory $noperatorname{Cob}^{ext}$ from it.
