    Abstract

    We consider the extension of classical 2-dimensional topological quantum
    field theories to Klein topological quantum field theories which allow
    unorientable surfaces. We approach this using the theory of modular operads by
    introducing a new operad governing associative algebras with involution. This
    operad is Koszul and we identify the dual dg operad governing A-infinity
    algebras with involution in terms of Mobius graphs which are a generalisation
    of ribbon graphs.
