Abstract

For a given list of closed manifolds Σk=(P1,...,Pk)\Sigma_k=(P_1,...,P_k), we construct a cobordism category CobdΣk\mathbf{Cob}_{d}^{\Sigma_{k}} of embedded manifolds with Baas-Sullivan singularities of type Σk\Sigma_k. Our main results identify the homotopy type of the classifying spaces BCobdΣkB\mathbf{Cob}_{d}^{\Sigma_{k}} of these cobordism categories with that of the infinite loop-space of a certain spectrum, MTΣk(d)\mathsf{MT}_{\Sigma_{k}}(d). Our results generalize of the work of Galatius, Madsen, Tillmann, and Weiss from arXiv:math/0605249. It also generalizes the work of Genauer on the cobordism categories of manifolds with corners from arXiv:0810.0581.
