The higher Morita category of $E_n$-algebras
Abstract
We introduce simple models for associative algebras and bimodules in the context of non-symmetric -operads, and use these to construct an -category of associative algebras, bimodules, and bimodule homomorphisms in a monoidal -category. By working with -operads over we iterate these definitions and generalize our construction to get an -category of -algebras and iterated bimodules in an -monoidal -category. Moreover, we show that if is an -monoidal -category then the -category of -algebras in has a natural -monoidal structure. We also identify the mapping -categories between two -algebras, which allows us to define interesting non-connective deloopings of the Brauer space of a commutative ring spectrum.
