We construct non-supersymmetric type I string models which correspond to consistent flat-space solutions of all classical equations of motion. Moreover, the one-loop vacuum energy is naturally fixed by the size of compact extra dimensions which, in the two-dimensional case, can be lowered to a fraction of a millimetre. This class of models has interesting non-abelian gauge groups and can accommodate chiral fermions. In the large radius limit, supersymmetry is recovered in the bulk, while D-brane excitations, although non-supersymmetric, exhibit Fermi-Bose degeneracy at all mass levels. We also give some evidence for a suppression of higher-loop corrections to the vacuum energy.

  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.
