The UTMF realization conjecture for Drinfeld centers

Let VV be a unitary topological modular functor (UTMF), and let B\mathcal{B} be its associated unitary modular category. Let C\mathcal{C} be a unitary fusion category. UTMF realization conjecture. VV can be realized by a topological phase of matter if and only if

B=Z(C).\mathcal{B}=\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C}).

Here Z(C)\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{C}) is the quantum double, or Drinfeld center, of C\mathcal{C}. The source notes that the forward construction is expected from the Levin–Wen model, but a fully rigorous proof remains absent.
