It is conjectured that the two closed bosonic string theories, Type 0A and Type 0B, correspond to certain supersymmetry breaking orbifold compactifications of M-theory. Various implications of this conjecture are discussed, in particular the behaviour of the tachyon at strong coupling and the existence of non-perturbative fermionic states in Type 0A. The latter are shown to correspond to bound states of Type 0A D-particles, thus providing further evidence for the conjecture. We also give a comprehensive description of the various Type 0 closed and open string theories.

  1. Recursive-algebraic solution of the closed string tachyon vacuum equation

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Presents a seam-graded recursive algebraic method that converts the closed string tachyon vacuum equation into a sequence of matrix inversions in the zero-momentum Lorentz-scalar sector.

  2. Ho\v{r}ava-Witten theory on ${\mathbf{S}}^1\vee{\mathbf{S}}^1$ as type 0 orientifold

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Hořava-Witten theory on S¹∨S¹ is dual to a type 0B orientifold with SO(16)^4 gauge group, explaining gauge group doubling via the geometry's junction and revealing two variants from E8 wall orientations.

  3. GSO projections via SPT phases

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    GSO projections in string theory are classified by fermionic SPT phases, predicting unoriented type 0 strings labeled by n mod 8 and explaining type II and type I choices.

  4. Non-supersymmetric dualities beyond the gauge algebra

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Verification of Blum-Dienes and Bergman-Gaberdiel dualities shows agreement in gauge group global forms from orientifold brane states and internal lattices, with one subtle projection exception.

  5. Bordisms between 9d type IIB supergravities and commutator widths of duality groups

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Proposes a refinement of the Swampland Cobordism Conjecture for Ω1(BG) with duality bundle G, where diverging commutator width of G requires infinitely many duality defects to realize monodromies via gravitational solitons.

  6. A Circle That Won't Return: The Fate of RR Fluxes and D-branes in Type 0A Tachyon Condensation

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    In type 0A on a two-circle wedge, isolated collapsing-branch D_p^- sources incur infinite RR field energy cost as the branch shrinks, with possible infrared screening or discharge to D_p^+ via an effective relative-ch...

  7. Heterotic Strings on Enriques Surfaces

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Classifies shift vectors for heterotic orbifolds on Enriques surfaces, analyzes spectra, and interprets some models as non-supersymmetric 10D heterotic compactifications with tachyon projection.
