The equivariant cobordism category

Abstract: For a finite group G, we define an equivariant cobordism category CdG. Objects of the category are (d−1)‐dimensional closed smooth G‐manifolds and morphisms are smooth d‐dimensional equivariant cobordisms. We identify the homotopy type of its classifying space (that is, geometric realization of its simplicial nerve) as the fixed points of the infinite loop space of a certain equivariant Thom spectrum.

“…The type of factorisation homology we compute in this article is a special case of equivariant factorisation homology for global quotient orbifolds [Wee20]; namely the case of free actions. The general case, which requires additional input data, should give rise to field theories defined as functors out of the bordism category introduced in [GS21]. Hence, our results provide a first steps towards computing this field theory.…”

“…In the non-parametrised setting, the composition 𝔐 * ,1 → Cob 2 | 𝑆 1 → Cob 2 is known to induce an equivalence after taking classifying spaces; we hope that in a similar way, the understanding of 𝐵Λ𝔐 * ,1 can shed some light on the homotopy type of 𝐵Cob Z 2 𝐵Cob 2 (𝑆 1 ) in future work. In the case of a finite group G, the homotopy type of Cob 𝐺 𝑑 was recently determined by Szűcs and Galatius [9]. In work by Raptis and Steimle [20], parametrised cobordism categories Cob 𝑑 (𝑌 ) featured as a tool to prove index theorems; however, it was not necessary for the scopes of that work to describe the homotopy type of the classifying spaces of these categories.…”
