Zusammenfassung: | We prove a generalization of the cobordism hypothesis of Baez--Dolan and
Hopkins--Lurie for bordisms with arbitrary geometric structures, such as
Riemannian metrics, complex and symplectic structures, principal bundles with
connections, or geometric string structures. Our methods rely on the locality
property for fully extended functorial field theories established in
arXiv:2011.01208, reducing the problem to the special case of geometrically
framed bordism categories. As an application, we upgrade the classification of
invertible fully extended topological field theories by B\"okstedt--Madsen and
Schommer-Pries to nontopological field theories, generalizing the work of
Galatius--Madsen--Tillmann--Weiss to arbitrary geometric structures. |
