| contents | We introduce a complete set of combinatorial data that encode the category $2\mathfrak{Cob}$ of all $2$-cobordisms. As an application, we show that the local monoids of $2\mathfrak{Cob}$ do not have finitely axiomatizable equational theories. As yet another application, we construct a von-Neumann-regular extension of this category. Similar results are provided for the topological annular category and various quotients of the latter, like the affine Temperley--Lieb category. |
