abstract
We consider certain four dimensional supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric asymmetric orbifolds with vanishing cosmological constant up to two loops and gauge the world sheet parity transformation. This leads to new string vacua, in which Dp and D(p-4) branes or Dp and anti-D(p-4) are identified. Moreover, it is shown that different degrees of supersymmetry can be realized in the bulk and on the brane. We show that for non-supersymmetric models the cosmological constant still vanishes at one loop order.

Asymmetric orbifolds with vanishing one-loop vacuum energy
Non-supersymmetric type II asymmetric orbifolds with Z_k x Z_k Abelian point groups (k=2,3,4) admit vanishing one-loop vacuum energy via sector-wise conservation of a supercharge-like operator.
