Fusion categories containing a fusion subcategory with maximal rank

In this paper, we study fusion categories which contain a proper fusion subcategory with maximal rank. They can be viewed as generalizations of near-group fusion categories. We first prove that they admit spherical structure. We then classify those which are nondegenerate or symmetric. Finally, we classify such fusion categories of rank 4.
