Defects for discrete symmetries encoded in bordism groups Ω^ξ_2(BG) and H_2(BG;Z) are described as brane networks rather than isolated objects, extending the Cobordism Conjecture and demonstrated in 4d supergravity from string/M-theory.

Proposes a refinement of the Swampland Cobordism Conjecture for duality groups, arguing that diverging commutator widths necessitate infinitely many duality defects to realize monodromies in 9d supergravity bordisms.
Family unification models from E7 cosets have no global sigma model anomalies because the torsion parts of their bordism groups vanish, as computed via the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence, including when isotropy subgroups are gauged.
Classifies shift vectors for heterotic orbifolds on Enriques surfaces, analyzes spectra, and interprets some models as non-supersymmetric 10D heterotic compactifications with tachyon projection.

A missing link: Brane networks and the Cobordism Conjecture
Defects for discrete symmetries encoded in bordism groups Ω^ξ_2(BG) and H_2(BG;Z) are described as brane networks rather than isolated objects, extending the Cobordism Conjecture and demonstrated in 4d supergravity from string/M-theory.

Bordisms between 9d type IIB supergravities and commutator widths of duality groups
Proposes a refinement of the Swampland Cobordism Conjecture for duality groups, arguing that diverging commutator widths necessitate infinitely many duality defects to realize monodromies in 9d supergravity bordisms.

Anomalies in family unification models from bordism classification
Family unification models from E7 cosets have no global sigma model anomalies because the torsion parts of their bordism groups vanish, as computed via the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence, including when isotropy subgroups are gauged.
