abstract

We describe two new types of vacua for ten-dimensional string models without supersymmetry, in which dilaton potentials are compensated by constant electric or magnetic fields. These arise from $\alpha '$ corrections to the equations of motion, and we comment on the reliability of this expansion. We identify explicitly unstable singlet scalar perturbations in the orientifold vacua, and we argue that in both cases additional instabilities are induced by non-abelian couplings.

  1. R7-branes and AdS$_{\text{9}}$ solutions in type IIB

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Explicit analytic 7-brane solutions in type IIB are built with AdS9 near-horizon geometry, and imposing the reflection monodromy tau -> -bar tau selects a subclass proposed as R7-branes.

  2. Non-supersymmetric strings on AdS$_3$: a world-sheet perspective

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    On AdS3×S3×S3×S1, a Wilson-line deformation of the Spin(16)×Spin(16)⋊Z2 heterotic string produces a level-matched tachyon, so the classical moduli space contains unstable regions.

  3. Non-supersymmetric branes and discrete topological terms

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A direct computation from the tentative NS5-brane spectrum gives the opposite Z3 topological term (1/3 vs 2/3) from Tachikawa-Zhang, so the spectrum or the inflow interpretation must change.

  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.
