576-periodicity conjecture for free fermion conformal nets

Let Fer(n)\mathit{Fer}(n) denote the conformal net of nn free fermions, and let CN\mathit{CN} denote the 3-category of conformal nets, with its notion of CN\mathit{CN}-equivalence. For every integer nn, the 576-periodicity conjecture asserts that there exists a CN\mathit{CN}-equivalence between

Fer(n)andFer(n+576).\mathit{Fer}(n)\quad\text{and}\quad\mathit{Fer}(n+576).

The conjecture proposes a conformal-net analogue of the 8-fold Morita periodicity of real Clifford algebras and of the 576-periodicity of topological modular forms. The corresponding algebraic periodicity for free fermion nets had not been established in the source.
