abstract

We study general non-supersymmetric heterotic string models, including so-called interpolating models, $d$-dimensionally compactified with the arbitrary number of freely acting $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ twisted directions. Taking the limits of the compactified radii to zero and infinity (the endpoint limits), we show some examples of the various interpolation patterns in the $d=2$ (8-dimensional) case. In the region where supersymmetry is asymptotically restored, we derive the formula for the one-loop cosmological constant of $(10-d)$ dimensional non-supersymmetric heterotic string models with general $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ twists, which does not depend on all the other endpoints and find out the points in the moduli space where the cosmological constant is exponentially suppressed. The moduli stability of the cosmological constant is also analyzed.

  1. Non-supersymmetric branes and discrete topological terms

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A direct computation from the tentative NS5-brane spectrum gives the opposite Z3 topological term (1/3 vs 2/3) from Tachikawa-Zhang, so the spectrum or the inflow interpretation must change.

  2. More on 8d non-supersymmetric branes and heterotic strings

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The E8 non-supersymmetric heterotic string on T^2 has exactly 22 maximal gauge enhancements, found by two independent methods, with massless spectra listed for each.
