NS Fivebranes and Type 0 Dualities
Ben Craps, Frederik Roose · 2000
The massless degrees of freedom of type 0 NS5-branes are derived.A non-chiral, purely bosonic spectrum is found in both type 0A and 0B.This non-chirality is confirmed by a one-loop computation in the bulk.Some puzzles concerning type 0B S-duality are pointed out in this context.An interpretation of the spectra in terms of "type 0 little strings" is proposed.This contribution is based on Ref. [1].
