Vacuum Energy Cancellation in a Non-supersymmetric String

arXiv:hep-th/9807076 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.59.106004

Abstract

We present a nonsupersymmetric orbifold of type II string theory and show that it has vanishing cosmological constant at the one and two loop level. We argue heuristically that the cancellation persists at higher loops.
