Can you tell me, where I can find a proof of the following fact: The bordism functor is a generalized cohomology theory, i.e. we can find suitable connecting homomorphisms to obtain long exact cohomology sequences.
Bordism as a generalized cohomology theory.

0The connecting homomorphism for the pairs of spaces is one of the easier parts of the proof that it's a (co)homology theory. The proof that bordism is a homology theory (I prefer to say *homology functor* as "theory" IMO is inaccurate and pretentious) is mostly fairly easy -- the part that requires the most care is the proof that it satisfies the excision axiom. – 2012-07-30
