We investigate some properties of string theory on Kaluza-Klein Melvin background. We discuss what happens when closed string tachyons in the theory condense, by using a linear sigma model of the Kaluza-Klein Melvin background.

  1. 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

    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.
