In this lecture, I will give a more precise statement of the Baez-Dolan cobordism hypothesis, which gives a description of framed bordism (higher) categories by a universal mapping property. I'll also describe some generalizations of the cobordism hypothesis, which take into account the structure of diffeomorphism groups of manifolds and which apply to manifolds which are not necessarily framed.
