Work out the supersymmetric extension of the degree twist in the bordism framework
Develop a complete supersymmetric extension of the chiral degree twist within the Stolz–Teichner cobordism framework—providing explicit definitions and verification in both Ramond and Neveu–Schwarz sectors—and establish its functorial properties.

The theory is chiral, and so expected to admit a canonical supersymmetric extension, generalizing Example 4.2. However, the details of this extension in the cobordism framework of [ST11] have not been worked out.
