A class of non-supersymmetric orientifolds
arXiv:hep-th/0606083 · doi:10.1088/1126-6708/2006/09/035
Abstract
We study type IIB orientifolds on T^{2d}/Z_N with supersymmetry broken by the compactification. We determine tadpole cancellation conditions including anti-branes and considering different actions for the parity Omega. Using these conditions we then obtain the spectrum of tachyons and massless states. Various examples with N even correspond to type 0B orientifolds.
