Defining and classifying TQFTs via surgery
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 arbitra...
