Frobenius Algebras and TQFT Learning Seminar

Hongdi Huang, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

In this very kick-off talk, we will go through section 1.1. We aim to recall/learn some basic notions of manifolds with boundary and orientations, and Morse functions in the section. We also introduce the slightly nonstandard notion of in-boundary and out-boundary, which is particularly convenient for the treatment of cobordisms. Besides, we will take about the outline and the goals of this seminar.
