Extract

The object of this paper is two-fold: first to collect together the known facts about combinatorial cobordism in general, and then to calculate the groups for the first 8 dimensions. As in (29), we shall denote the unoriented and oriented cobordism groups in dimension n by and Ωn, and will distinguish the combinatorial from the differential case by affixes c, d.
