Baez–Dolan–Lurie cobordism hypothesis for framed manifolds

Let C\mathscr{C} be a symmetric monoidal infinity nn-category. A fully dualizable object of C\mathscr{C} is an object satisfying the dualizability conditions at every categorical level, and let Cfd\mathscr{C}^{\textnormal{fd}} denote the space of such objects. Baez–Dolan–Lurie conjecture. The space of 0-1-\cdots-nn theories of framed manifolds with values in C\mathscr{C} is homotopy equivalent to Cfd\mathscr{C}^{\textnormal{fd}}. This is the higher-dimensional generalization of the cobordism hypothesis and would classify framed fully extended topological field theories by fully dualizable objects; the source describes Lurie as having a detailed plan of proof, but does not establish the conjecture in full generality.
