 \dropcap{T}he aim of this paper is to describe a derived category analogue of topological quantum field theories.
 
 For our purposes, an $n{+}1$-dimensional TQFT is a locally defined system of
-invariants of manifolds of dimensions 0 through $n+1$. In particular,

 the TQFT invariant $A(Y)$ of a closed $k$-manifold $Y$ is a linear $(n{-}k)$-category.
 If $Y$ has boundary then $A(Y)$ is a collection of $(n{-}k)$-categories which afford
 a representation of the $(n{-}k{+}1)$-category $A(\bd Y)$.

 Of course, there are currently many interesting alternative notions of $n$-category and of TQFT.
 We note that our $n$-categories are both more and less general
 than the ``fully dualizable" ones which play a prominent role in \cite{0905.0465}.
-They are more general in that we make no duality assumptions in the top dimension $n+1$.
+They are more general in that we make no duality assumptions in the top dimension $n{+}1$.
 They are less general in that we impose stronger duality requirements in dimensions 0 through $n$.
 Thus our $n$-categories correspond to $(n{+}\epsilon)$-dimensional unoriented or oriented TQFTs, while
 Lurie's (fully dualizable) $n$-categories correspond to $(n{+}1)$-dimensional framed TQFTs.
