Abstract

We classify modular fusion categories up to braided equivalence with less than four distinct twists of simple objects by observing that under this assumption, for each positive integer <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>N</mml:mi> </mml:math> , there are finitely many modular fusion categories of Frobenius–Schur exponent <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>N</mml:mi> </mml:math> up to braided equivalence whose twists are a proper subset of the <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>N</mml:mi> <mml:mi mathvariant="normal">th</mml:mi> </mml:msup> </mml:math> roots of unity.
