Proposes topological leptogenesis where a new gapped topological order sector cancels the SM B-L anomaly and BSM dark matter consists of decaying line/surface defects with anyon charges.

An SU(12)-based model unifies quark color-flavor and lepton flavor, generates Yukawas via instantons, solves strong CP with massless quarks, implements a flavored seesaw, and stabilizes the proton via a discrete gauge symmetry X = B - 3(L_i + L_j - L_k).
A symmetry-extension construction of an anomalous 4d Z_{N_c}-gauge TQFT cancels the SM mixed anomaly and selects N_c = N_f = 3 as the unique odd-color solution.
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.

Anomalies in family unification models from bordism classification
