Kreck, Neumann and Ossa introduced and studied an analogous notion of cut and paste relation for manifolds called the SK-equivalence (“schneiden und kleben” is German for “cut and paste”). In this talk I will explain the construction that will allow us to
speak about the “K-theory of manifolds” spectrum. The zeroth homotopy group of the constructed spectrum recovers the classical groups </span><span style="font-size:17.5pt;font-family:"STIXGeneral-Regular",serif;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0cm;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">SK</span><span style="font-size:12.5pt;font-family:"STIXGeneral-Italic",serif;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0cm;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">n</span><span style="font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"PT Sans",sans-serif;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0cm;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">SK�</span><span style="font-size:15.0pt;font-family:"PT Sans",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">.

In the 90s, Cohen- Jones, and Segal asked the question of whether various types of Floer homology theories could be upgraded to the homotopy level by constructing stable homotopy types encoding Floer data. They also sketched how one could construct these Floer
homotopy types as (pro)spectra in the situation that the infinite-dimensional manifold involved is “trivially polarized”. It has since been realized that the correct home for Floer homotopy types, in the polarized situation, is twisted spectra. This is a generalization
of parametrized spectra that one can roughly think of as sections of bundles of categories whose fibre is the category of spectra. The aim of this talk is to give an introduction of Floer homotopy theory and twisted spectra. I will also outline the construction
of a circle equivariant twisted spectrum from Seiberg-Witten Floer data associated to a 3-manifold equipped with a complex spin structure. As there are many moving parts to this (Atiyah-Singer index theory, finite-dimensional approximation, Conley index theory
etc.), I will try to keep the talk on a conceptual level that will hopefully be accessible to a large audience. This is joint work in progress with S. Behrens and T. Kragh.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
