A duality web is proposed in which Z2 quotients of M-theory on S1 vee S1 and F-theory on (S1 vee S1) x S1 map to 0A/0B orientifolds and non-supersymmetric E-type and D-type heterotic strings, providing evidence for existing dualities.

abstract
We derive fully covariant expressions for all two-point scattering amplitudes involving closed string tachyon and massless strings from Dirichlet brane in type 0 theories. The amplitude for two massless D-brane fluctuations to produce closed string tachyon is also evaluated. We then examine in detail these string scattering amplitudes in order to extract world-volume couplings of the tachyon with itself and with massless fields on a D-brane. We find that the tachyon appears as an overall coupling function in the Born-Infeld action.

In type 0A on a two-circle wedge, isolated collapsing-branch D_p^- sources incur infinite RR field energy cost as the branch shrinks, with possible infrared screening or discharge to D_p^+ via an effective relative-charge carrier.
Worldsheet effects from wedge singularities plus D0-brane emergence reproduce the tree-level tachyon mass in type 0A strings within a specific scaling limit.
