An open-closed cobordism category with background space

Elizabeth Hanbury

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 9 (2009) 833–863
Abstract

In this paper we introduce an open-closed cobordism category with maps to a background space. We identify the classifying space of this category for certain classes of background space. The key ingredient is the homology stability of mapping class groups with twisted coefficients.
