In geometric topology, surgery theory is used to produce one finite-dimensional manifold from another in a 'controlled' way. Originally developed for differentiable (smooth) manifolds, surgery techniques also apply to piecewise linear and topological manifolds. Surgery refers to cutting out parts of the manifold and replacing it with a part of another manifold, matching up along the cut or boundary. This is related to handlebody decompositions.

Künneth formulas/theorem for bordism groups and cobordisms?

The Künneth formula for ordinary homology as you present it works only when $R$ is a PID (or more generally of cohomological dimension 1). For a general well-behaved homology theory[1] (this includes …
