Conformal nets are factorization algebras
  We prove that conformal nets of finite index are an instance of the notion of a factorization algebra. This result is an ingredient in our proof that, for $G=SU(n)$, the Drinfel'd center of the category of positive energy representations of the based loop group is equivalent to the category of positive energy representations of the free loop group.
