2D HQFTs and Frobenius $(\mathcal{G},\mathcal{V})$-categories
Abstract
Homotopy Quantum Field Theories as variants of Topological Quantum Field Theories are described by functors from some cobordism category, enriched with homotopical data, to a symmetric monoidal category . A new notion of HQFTs is introduced using target pairs of spaces acounting for basepoints being sent to points in . Such -HQFTs are classified in dimension 1 by dualizable representations of , the relative fundamental groupoid. For dimension 2, the notion of crossed loop Frobenius -categories is introduced, generalizing crossed Frobenius -algebras, where is only a group. After stating generalities of these multi-object generalizations, a classification theorem of 2-dimensional -HQFTs via crossed loop Frobenius -categories is proven.
