Classification of homotopy type (55P15) (mathrm{O})- and (mathrm{SO})-cobordism (57R75) Infinite loop spaces (55P47) Other types of cobordism (57R90)

Abstract: The embedded cobordism category under study in this paper generalizes the category of conformal surfaces, introduced by G. Segal in order to formalize the concept of field theories. Our main result identifies the homotopy type of the classifying space of the embedded d-dimensional cobordism category for all d. For d=2, our results lead to a new proof of the generalized Mumford conjecture, somewhat different in spirit from the original one.
