Abstract For a braided fusion category $$\mathcal{V}$$, a $$\mathcal{V}$$-fusion category is a fusion category $$\mathcal{C}$$ equipped with a braided monoidal functor $$\mathcal{F}:\mathcal{V} \to Z(\mathcal{C})$$. Given a fixed $$\mathcal{V}$$-fusion category $$(\mathcal{C}, \mathcal{F})$$ and a fixed $$G$$-graded extension $$\mathcal{C}\subseteq \mathcal{D}$$ as an ordinary fusion category, we characterize the enrichments $$\widetilde{\mathcal{F}}:\mathcal{V} \to Z(\mathcal{D})$$ of $$\mathcal{D}$$ that are compatible with the enrichment of $$\mathcal{C}$$. We show that G-crossed extensions of a braided fusion category $$\mathcal{C}$$ are G-extensions of the canonical enrichment of $$\mathcal{C}$$ over itself. As an application, we parameterize the set of $$G$$-crossed braidings on a fixed $$G$$-graded fusion category in terms of certain subcategories of its center, extending Nikshych’s classification of the braidings on a fusion category. 

We develop categorical and number-theoretical tools for the classification of super-modular categories. We apply these tools to obtain a partial classification of super-modular categories of rank [Formula: see text]. In particular we find three distinct families of prime categories in rank [Formula: see text] in contrast to the lower rank cases for which there is only one such family.
