We contribute to the classification of modular categories <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="script upper C"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mi class="MJX-tex-caligraphic" mathvariant="script">C</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">\mathcal {C}</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> with <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="upper F upper P d i m left-parenthesis script upper C right-parenthesis identical-to 2 left-parenthesis mod 4 right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mi>F</mml:mi> <mml:mi>P</mml:mi> <mml:mi>d</mml:mi> <mml:mi>i</mml:mi> <mml:mi>m</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mi class="MJX-tex-caligraphic" mathvariant="script">C</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> <mml:mo> ≡ </mml:mo> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> <mml:mspace width="0.667em"/> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>mod</mml:mi> <mml:mspace width="0.333em"/> <mml:mn>4</mml:mn> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">FPdim(\mathcal {C})\equiv 2 \pmod 4</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> .
