Non-supersymmetric Heterotic Branes

Abstract: The completeness conjecture states that a consistent quantum gravity theory contains dynamical objects bearing all conceivable charges. McNamara and Vafa proposed that such charges can be classified by bordism classes in the operational EFT, which indicates that there may be several yet-to-be-identified branes within string theory. In this talk, I will elucidate some of these charges as they pertain to heterotic string theories and subsequently explore potential worldsheet descriptions of strings proximate to the corresponding branes.
