The cobordism hypothesis gives a correspondence between the
	framed local topological field theories with values in C and a fully
	dualizable objects in C.  Changing framing gives an O(n) action on the
	space of local TFTs, and hence by the cobordism hypothesis it gives a
	(homotopy coherent) action of O(n) on the space of fully dualizable
	objects in C.  One example of this phenomenon is that O(3) acts on the
	space of fusion categories.  In fact, O(3) acts on the larger space of
	finite tensor categories.  I'll describe this action explicitly and
	discuss its relationship to the double dual, Radford's theorem,
	pivotal structures, and spherical structures.  This is part of work in
	progress joint with Chris Douglas and Chris Schommer-Pries.
