The d-algebra structure conjecture for translation-dilation invariant QFTs

Let V=RdV=\mathbb{R}^d, let Φ\Phi be the bundle of local fields of a quantum field theory, and let Φ0\Phi_0 be its fiber at the origin. Let GdG_d be the group of parallel translations and dilatations. A dd-algebra is an algebra over the chains on the little dd-discs operad. The dd-algebra structure conjecture for QFTs. For any QFT on VV invariant under GdG_d, in particular for any conformal field theory, the tensor product

Φ0(V)\Phi_0\otimes\wedge^*(V^*)

has a structure of a dd-algebra. The source presents this as plausible and gives no proof; it connects the conjecture to homotopy Lie algebras governing translation-invariant deformations of QFTs.
