We present a nonsupersymmetric orbifold of type II string theory and show that it has vanishing cosmological constant at the one and two loop level. We argue heuristically that the cancellation persists at higher loops.

  1. Asymmetric orbifolds with vanishing one-loop vacuum energy

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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.
