Abstract

We prove a connectivity bound for maps of \infty-operads of the form Ak1AknEn\mathbb{A}_{k_1} \otimes \cdots \otimes \mathbb{A}_{k_n} \to \mathbb{E}_n, and as a consequence, give an inductive way to construct En\mathbb{E}_n-algebras in mm-categories. The result follows from a version of Eckmann-Hilton argument that takes into account both connectivity and arity of \infty-operads. Along the way, we prove a technical Blakers-Massey type statement for algebras of coherent \infty-operads.
