In particular\, I will revisit the chiral spectra o n charged 1- and 5-branes in the 10d non supersymmetric sp(16) string theo ry and verify anomaly cancellation via inflow. Furthermore\, I will show c ompelling evidence that the global structure of the gauge group is Sp(16)/ Z2 along with hints of a possible duality to a non-supersymmetric heteroti c theory. Secondly\, I will discuss the presence of a discrete topological term in heterotic strings and delve into its relation with anomaly inflow cancellation on the worldvolume of the non-supersymmetric NS5-brane. Thes e insights will allow us to assess the consistency of candidate spectra fo r the six-dimensional theory living on these defects. Finally I will prese nt a recent study of Type II non-supersymmetric toroidal asymmetric orbifo lds with a vanishing cosmological constant at one-loop in string perturbat ion theory. This talk will be based on 2412.17894\, 2507.11610 and 2602.07 113. LOCATION:online END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
