Abstract

We prove that the set of concordance classes of sections of an 1-sheaf on a manifold is representable, extending a theorem of Madsen and Weiss for sheaves of sets.This is reminiscent of an h-principle in which the role of isotopy is played by concordance.As an application, we offer an answer to the question: what does the classifying space of a Segal space classify?18F20, 18N60, 55N30 1.
