The minimal modular extension conjecture for super-modular categories

A super-modular category is a premodular category whose Müger center is equivalent to \sVec\sVec. A spin modular category is a modular category containing a fermion. For a fusion category B\mathcal{B}, write dim(B)\dim(\mathcal{B}) for its categorical dimension. Minimal modular extension conjecture. Any super-modular category B\mathcal{B} is a ribbon subcategory of a spin modular category C\mathcal{C} such that

dim(C)=2dim(B).\dim(\mathcal{C})=2\dim(\mathcal{B}).

This is identified in the paper as the key outstanding conjecture for super-modular categories; it asserts the existence of a modular extension of the smallest possible dimension.
