Given an En-algebra A we explicitly construct a fully extended n-dimensional topological field theory which is essentially given by factorization homology. Under the cobordism hypothesis, this is the fully extended n-TFT corresponding to the En-algebra A, considered as an object in a suitable Morita-p8, nq-category Algn. We first give a precise definition of a fully extended n-dimensional topological field theory using complete n-fold Segal spaces as a model for p8, nq-categories. This involves developing an n-fold Segal space Bordn of n-dimensional bordisms and endowing it with a symmetric monoidal structure. Exploiting the equivalence between En-algebras and locally constant factorization algebras proven by Lurie we use locally constant factorization algebras on stratified spaces to construct an p8, nq-category with En-algebras as objects, (pointed) bimodules as 1morphisms, (pointed) bimodules between bimodules as 2-morphisms, etc. and endow it with a symmetric monoidal structure. Finally, given an En-algebra we construct a morphism of n-fold Segal spaces from Bordn to Algn given by a suitable pushforward of the factorization algebra obtained by taking factorization homology. We show that this map respects the symmetric monoidal structure and thus is a fully extended n-TFT.
