Open 2d TCFTs correspond to cyclic A-infinity algebras, and Costello showed

that any open theory has a universal extension to an open-closed theory in

which the closed state space (the value of the functor on a circle) is the

Hochschild homology of the open algebra.  We will give a G-equivariant

generalization of this theorem, meaning that the surfaces are now equipped

with principal G-bundles.  Equivariant Hochschild homology and a new ribbon

graph decomposition of the moduli space of surfaces with G-bundles are the

principal ingredients.  This is joint work with Ramses Fernandez-Valencia.
