Classifying Extended TQFT and the Cobordism Hypothesis
An overview of the concept of extended field theories, and a look
at the role of the Cobordism Hypothesis (now more accurately the
Cobordism Theorem) in classification of such theories. Given time
the talk will touch on Jacob Lurie's proof of the Cobordism
Hypothesis.
