DESCRIPTION:Kursat Sozer\, Université de Lille\nInspired by theoretical p
 hysics\, topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) produce manifold invar
 iants behaving well under gluing. Homotopy quantum field theories (HQFTs)\
 , introduced by Turaev\, generalize TQFTs to manifolds equipped with conti
 nuous maps to fixed target space. A different generalization of TQFTs is g
 iven by extended TQFTs which includes lower-dimensional manifolds utilizin
 g higher categories. In this talk\, we define and classify 2-dimensional e
 xtended HQFTs with arbitrary targets generalizing the earlier work on K(G\
 ,1)-targets using the methods introduced for TQFTs by Chris Schommer-Pries
  in 2009.
