Equivalence of loop-group representation categories and conformal-net categories

From papers

Let GG be a simple simply connected Lie group and let k0k\geq 0 be a level. The category Repk(LG)\mathrm{Rep}^k(LG) is defined by approaches \textit{a.} or \textit{b.}, while approach \textit{c.} constructs another category; a balanced tensor category is a tensor category equipped with a braiding and a twist.

Equivalence conjecture. For every simple simply connected Lie group GG and every level k0k\geq 0, the categories Repk(LG)\mathrm{Rep}^k(LG) defined via \textit{a.} or \textit{b.}, and via \textit{c.}, are equivalent as balanced tensor categories.

Approaches \textit{a.} and \textit{b.} are known to produce equivalent modular tensor categories and to be additively equivalent to Repk(LG)\mathrm{Rep}^k(LG). Approach \textit{c.} is less developed: the equivalence is known for G=SU(2)G=SU(2), while for SU(n)SU(n) and for other Lie groups the corresponding braided or fusion-category equivalence was not known in the source.
