Abstract
We study algebraic models of the Segal category of Riemann surfaces [11]. These are 2-categories based on the 1+1 dimensional cobordism category enriched by diffeomorphisms of surfaces (or isotopy classes of such). In particular, we show that one of these models is a symmetric strict monoidal strict 2-category. The main technical tools are quotient constructions on 2-categories.
