abstract

The common statement that any consistent quantum gravity theory contains dynamical objects with all possible charges suggests that there are still a number of hitherto-unidentified branes in string theory. Here we give the exact worldsheet description of near-horizon limits of non-supersymmetric $p$-branes in ten-dimensional $\mathrm{Spin}(32)/\mathbb{Z}_2$ or $(E_8 \times E_8) \rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2$ heterotic superstring theories for $p=7,6,4,0$.

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

  1. The absence of global anomalies of CP symmetry

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Gauged CP symmetry in four dimensions introduces no new global anomalies for connected, simply-connected gauge groups; the standard model matter content is anomaly-free under a gauged CP.

  2. Cobordism Utopia: U-Dualities, Bordisms, and the Swampland

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For 8d maximal supergravity, the spin bordism groups Omega_k^Spin(B(SL(2,Z) x SL(3,Z))) for k=1..7 are computed and each generator is realized by a string/M/F-theory background, some of which are non-geometric.

  3. A Matrix Theory Construction of the IIA/IIB Wall

    hep-th 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A lightlike IIA/IIB domain wall is constructed at zero string coupling by gauging (−1)^{F_L} in matrix string theory, turning BPS IIA D0-branes into non-BPS IIB D0-branes.

  4. Gravitational Background of Alice-Vortices and R7-Branes

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A family of asymptotic Alice-vortex/R7-brane backgrounds in axio-dilaton gravity is constructed, with the vortex tension encoded in a conical deficit and a generic intrinsic dipole moment.

  5. More on 8d non-supersymmetric branes and heterotic strings

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The E8 non-supersymmetric heterotic string on T^2 has exactly 22 maximal gauge enhancements, found by two independent methods, with massless spectra listed for each.
