Abstract
At the heart of the axiomatic formulation of 1+1-dimensional topological field theory is the set of all surfaces with boundary assembled into a category. This category of surfaces has compact 1-manifolds as objects and smooth oriented cobordisms as morphisms. Taking disjoint unions gives a monoidal
