DESCRIPTION:Conformal nets and vertex operator algebras are distinct mathe
 matical axiomatizations of&nbsp\;roughly the same physical idea: a two-dim
 ensional chiral conformal field theory. In this talk I will present recent
  work\, based on ideas of Andr&eacute\; Henriques\, in which local operato
 rs in&nbsp\;conformal nets are realized as "boundary values" of vertex ope
 rators. This construction exhibits many features of&nbsp\;conformal nets (
 e.g. subfactors\, their Jones indices\, and their fusion rules) in terms o
 f vertex operator algebras\, and I will discuss how this allows one to use
  Antony Wassermann&#39\;s approach to calculating fusion rules in a broad 
 class of examples.
