   249 Suppose an $n$-manifold $X$ contains a copy of $Y$, an $n-1$ manifold, as a codimension $0$ submanifold of its boundary. Fix a boundary condition $c \in \cF(\bdy X \setminus Y)$. Then the collection $A(X; c \bullet d)$, as $d$ varies over $\cF(Y)$, forms a module over the $1$-category $A(Y)$. The action is via gluing a collar onto $Y$, then applying a `collaring homeomorphism' $X \cup_Y Y \times I \to X$.

   251 If $X$ contains two copies of $Y$, $A(X)$ is then a bimodule over $A(Y)$. Below, we'll compute the invariant of the `glued up' manifold $X \bigcup_Y \selfarrow$ as the self-tensor product of this bimodule.

   258 What is the self-tensor product of a bimodule over a category? First, what is the tensor product of a left-module and a right-module? Recall a module $\cM$ over a category $\cC$ is a collection of vector spaces $\cM_c$ indexed by an object $c \in \cC$, along with a linear map $f: \cM_a \to \cM_b$ for each morphism $f:a \mapsto b$ of $\cC$. The tensor product of a left- and a right-module is defined to be the vector space
       
   259 $$\cM \Tensor_\cC \cN = \left(\DirectSum_{c \in \cC} \cM_c \tensor {}_c\cN\right) \Big/ \setc{mf \tensor n - m \tensor fn}{f: c \mapsto c'}$$
       
   260 just as you'd expect. The self-tensor product of a bimodule ${}_{\cC}\cX_{\cC}$ is then
       
   261 $$\cX \Tensor_{\cC} \selfarrow = \DirectSum_{c \in \cC} {}_c \cX_c / (xf - fx).$$

   254 Any isotopy of $X \bigcup_Y \selfarrow$ is homotopic to a composition of `collar shift' isotopies and isotopies that are constant on $Y$ (i.e. the image of an isotopy of $X$ itself).

   267 \begin{proof}
   257 First make the isotopy act locally. When it's acting in a small ball overlapping $Y$, conjugate by a collar shift to move it off.

   264 Certainly there is a map $A(X) \to A(X \bigcup_Y \selfarrow)$. We send an element of $A(X)$ to the corresponding `glued up' element of $A(X \bigcup_Y \selfarrow)$. This is well-defined since $\cU(X)$ maps into $\cU(X \bigcup_Y \selfarrow)$. This map descends down to a map
   275 Certainly there is a map $\DirectSum_{y \in \cF(Y)} A(X; y \bullet y) \to A(X \bigcup_Y \selfarrow)$. We send an element of $A(X)$ to the corresponding `glued up' element of $A(X \bigcup_Y \selfarrow)$. This is well-defined since $\cU(X)$ maps into $\cU(X \bigcup_Y \selfarrow)$. This map descends down to a map
   265 $$A(X) \Tensor_{A(Y)} \selfarrow \to A(X \bigcup_Y \selfarrow)$$
   276 $$A(X) \Tensor_{A(Y)} \selfarrow \to A(X \bigcup_Y \selfarrow)$$
