We demonstrate that AdS_5 x T^{pq} is unstable, in the sense of Breitenlohner and Freedman, for unequal p and q. This settles, negatively, the long-standing question of whether the T^{pq} manifolds for unequal p and q might correspond to non-supersymmetric fixed points of the renormalization group. We also show that the AdS_3 x S^7 vacuum of Sugimoto's USp(32) open string theory is unstable. This explains, at a heuristic level, the apparent absence of a heterotic string dual.

Brane annihilation in non-supersymmetric strings
Non-supersymmetric AdS×S flux vacua in three string models decay by flux-reducing tunneling whose semi-classical rates match brane-instanton estimates from D1- or NS5-branes.

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