Description

I will describe a proposed duality web relating several non-supersymmetric string theories. Using recent M-theory and F-theory geometric descriptions of type 0 strings, I will show how suitable Z2​ quotients produce 0A/0B orientifolds. This perspective also gives new evidence for the Bergman–Gaberdiel and DMS duality conjectures relating type 0 orientifolds to bosonic string compactifications.
