abstract

In this paper properties of D branes in a nine dimensional asymmetric orbifold are discussed, using a $(-1)^{F_L}\sigma_{1/2}$ projection, where $F_L$ is the leftmoving space-time fermion number and $\sigma_{1/2}$ is a freely acting shift of order two. There are two types of non BPS D branes, which are stable at $R>2$ and $R<2$ respectively. At R=2 there is a perturbative enhancement of gauge symmetry and the two types of branes are related by a global bulk symmetry transformation. At this point in the moduli space the associated boundary states are constructed using a free fermion representation of the theory. Some aspects of the enhancement of gauge symmetry in the S-dual type $\tilde I$ theory are discussed.

  1. Uniqueness of D=8 minimal supergravity with two vector multiplets

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Under a duality symmetry assumption, minimal supergravity coupled to two vector multiplets in D=8 is uniquely fixed in the BPS sector by anomaly cancellation, uplifts, and gauge enhancement.

  2. Anomalies and D-branes in the Dabholkar-Park background

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.
