Abstract
We construct a rational homotopy-theoretic model for a classifying space of locally conformally symplectic structures on four-manifolds, and use it to definition a cobordism category of three-manifolds `anchored' by principal - bundles (, generalizing contact structures). Powerful - representation-valued Hodge-Lefschetz cohomology (going back to Chern and Weil), taking values in the -graded category of bidifferential modules of Angella, Otiman, and Tardini is available for its study. This is an extended revision with a detailed introduction replacing the final section. The original concern of the paper was a characteristic two issue which remains unchanged.
