Abstract

We study duals for objects and adjoints for kk-morphisms in Algn(S)\operatorname{Alg}_n(\mathcal{S}), an (,n+N)(\infty,n+N)-category that models a higher Morita category for EnE_n algebra objects in a symmetric monoidal (,N)(\infty,N)-category S\mathcal{S}. Our model of Alg(S)\operatorname{Alg}(\mathcal{S}) uses the geometrically convenient framework of factorization algebras. The main result is that Algn(S)\operatorname{Alg}_n(\mathcal{S}) is fully nn-dualizable, verifying a conjecture of Lurie. Moreover, we unpack the consequences for a natural class of fully extended topological field theories and explore (n+1)(n+1)-dualizability.
