We present a novel source for supersymmetry breaking in orientifold models, and show that it gives a vanishing contribution to the vacuum energy at genus zero and three-half. We also argue that all the corresponding perturbative contributions to the vacuum energy from higher-genus Riemann surfaces vanish identically.

  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.
