Previously, topologically ordered phases in 2+1 dimensions have been well studied, partially due to
its close relation with 1+1D conformal field theory (CFT). In particular, the modular transformations,
originally developed in the context of CFT, have been demonstrated to contain information on the
braiding statistics of point-like particles and are characterizing features of topologically ordered
phases in 2+1D. In this talk I discuss the natural generalization of these in 3+1D topologically
ordered phases, in which the generalized modular transformations are found to be directly related to
the braiding of extended loop-like excitations.
