“Higher Morita categories”<\/p>\n
Abstract: Classical Morita theory for associative algebras can be described in terms of a 2-category with associative algebras as objects, bimodules as morphisms, and bimodule homomorphisms as 2-morphisms; this can be further enhanced to a double category that also includes algebra homomorphisms. More generally, we can consider 2-categories and double categories of enriched categories and bimodules between them. I will discuss homotopical versions of these structures and their higher-dimensional generalizations to $E_n$-algebras and enriched n-categories, which are of interest as targets for fully extended TQFTs.<\/p>\n
