Is there a notion of a cobordism which is compatible with bundle structure?
That is, if I have bundles and , is it the case that the manifold with and as boundary components, can be made into a bundle whose bundle structure, when restricted to or , is the bundle structure of or .
And, particularly, when can I connect and this way (not just when they're cobordant, but when this cobordism is compatable with this structure)? And what can I say about the bundle structure of , knowing what and look like? (e.g., if and are G-bundles what can I say about the group action on ?)
Also, can anyone point me to any particular references which discuss this? I spent a few hours in our (fairly small) math library looking for something like this, but haven't been able to find anything that seems to discuss this. But I may just not know the right catch phrases to search for!
