Cobordisms and the Thom Spectrum

talk expository slides

Summary:

In the first part, I give a whimsical introduction to cobordisms, what they do for algebraic topologists, and how they come up in mathematics. In the second, I construct the Thom spectrum associated to the cobordism cohomology theory, using the Pontryagin-Thom construction.
