abstract

By exploiting recent arguments about stable nonsupersymmetric D-brane states, we argue that D-brane charge takes values in the K-theory of spacetime, as has been suspected before. In the process, we gain a new understanding of some novel objects proposed recently - such as the Type I zerobrane - and we describe some new objects - such as a -1-brane in Type I superstring theory.

A Duality Web for Non-Supersymmetric Strings

hep-th · 2026-04-08 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

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.

Non-Invertible Symmetries in Compactified Supergravities

hep-th · 2026-05-15 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Non-invertible symmetry defects from 11D supergravity descend to Type IIA, splitting the Bianchi sector into invertible H[3] and twisted non-invertible F[4] parts with a BF-type auxiliary sector.
