Idea

A dualizable object in a symmetric monoidal (∞,n)-category is called fully dualizable if the structure maps of the duality unit and counit each themselves have adjoints, which have adjoints, and so on.

Properties

By the cobordism hypothesis-theorem, symmetric monoidal (∞,n)-functors out of the (∞,n)-category of cobordismss are characterized by their value on the point, which is a fully dualizable object.
