Anomaly Cancellations in the Type I D9-anti-D9 System and the USp(32) String Theory
read the original abstract
We check some consistency conditions for the D9-anti-D9 system in type I string theory. The gravitational anomaly and gauge anomaly for SO(n) x SO(m) gauge symmetry are shown to be cancelled when n-m=32. In addition, we find that a string theory with USp(n) x USp(m) gauge symmetry also satisfies the anomaly cancellation conditions. After tachyon condensation, the theory reduces to a tachyon-free USp(32) string theory, though there is no spacetime supersymmetry.

Light-Front approach to $4d$ massless Higher-Spin interactions
Quartic Poincaré-closure in the light-front gauge classifies all one- and two-derivative chiral higher-spin theories in 4d and yields new finite-spectrum local theories and quasi-chiral families.

Non-supersymmetric dualities beyond the gauge algebra
Global gauge groups match in the Blum–Dienes duality, but the Bergman–Gaberdiel duality needs an unexplained extra Z2 projection on type 0B orientifold branes.

A Duality Web for Non-Supersymmetric Strings
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 ex...

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.
