We construct the SO(32) spinor state in weakly coupled type I string theory as a kink solution of the tachyon field on the D-string - anti-D-string pair and calculate its mass. We also give a description of this system in terms of an exact boundary conformal field theory and show that in this description this state can be regarded as a non-supersymmetric D0-brane in type I string theory. This construction can be generalised to represent the D0-brane in type IIA string theory as a vortex solution of the tachyon field on the membrane anti-membrane pair, and the D-string of type I string theory as a topological soliton of the tachyon field on the D5-brane anti- D5-brane pair.

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The U(1)_R symmetry operator of the Klebanov-Witten theory is realized by a non-BPS KK monopole, whose worldvolume action matches the SymTh operator and anomaly coefficients.

  4. Anomaly Inflow and Gauge Group Topology in the 10d Sugimoto String Theory

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Anomaly inflow on Sugimoto model branes supports the conclusion that the 10d gauge group is Sp(16)/Z2, and the same inflow matching rules out most alternative chiral spectra.

    Stable D-branes in the Dabholkar-Park background are derived from world-sheet anomalies with boundary Majorana fermions, matching the known relative KR-theory classification and explaining its 4-fold periodicity.
