The higher Morita category of E_n-algebras

Abstract: We introduce simple models for associative algebras and bimodules in the context of non-symmetric

i n f t y

-operads, and use these to construct an

(i n f t y, 2)

-category of associative algebras, bimodules, and bimodule homomorphisms in a monoidal

i n f t y

-category. By working with

i n f t y

-operads over

D e l t a^{n, e x t o p}

we iterate these definitions and generalize our construction to get an

(i n f t y, n + 1)

-category of

E_{n}

-algebras and iterated bimodules in an

E_{n}

-monoidal

i n f t y

-category. Moreover, we show that if

m a t h c a l C

is an

E_{n + k}

-monoidal

i n f t y

-category then the

(i n f t y, n + 1)

-category of

E_{n}

-algebras in

m a t h c a l C

has a natural

E_{k}

-monoidal structure. We also identify the mapping

(i n f t y, n)

-categories between two

E_{n}

-algebras, which allows us to define interesting non-connective deloopings of the Brauer space of a commutative ring spectrum.
