Title: A Computational Approach to Classifying Modular Categories by Rank
Abstract: Modular categories are of interest in a variety of disciplines stretching from abstract algebra to theoretical physics. It was recently proved by Bruillard, Ng, Rowell, and Wang, that there are a finite number of modular categories given a fixed rank. I present a computer assisted approach to classifying modular categories by their rank.
