Abstract

We analyze non-supersymmetric four dimensional open string models of type IIB string theory compactified on $T^{2} \times K 3$ with Scherk-Schwarz deformation acting on an $S^{1}$ of the $T^{2}$ torus. We find that there are always two solutions to the tadpole conditions that are shown to be connected via Wilson lines in an non-trivial way. These models although non-supersymmetric, are free of R-R and NS-NS tadpoles.
