Nov 9, 2015 at 22:30 comment added Chao-Ming Jian Thank you very much for this very interesting and thorough answer!! As you said in the answer and also your paper 1511.01772, the dimension reduction and surgery play key roles in proving this theorem. I am wondering if you have some insights in directly proving this theorem using the handle decomposition of manifolds. In hindsight, it seems that an analysis of the handle decomposition of T^n should provide enough information of the once-extended TQFT to constrain the invertibility on other manifolds.
