We develop a version of Quillen's geometric cobordism theory for infinite dimensional separable Hilbert manifolds. This cobordism theory has a graded group structure under the topological union operation and has push-forward maps for Fredholm maps. We discuss transversal approximations and products, and the contravariant property of this cobordism theory. We define Euler classes for finite dimensional complex vector bundles and describe some applications to the complex cobordism of flag varieties of loop groups.
