nonsupersymmetric

This would include: the formation and decay of (nonsupersymmetric) black holes; graviton scattering at hyper-Planckian energies; physically continuous transitions from one topology, through a quantum state with no geometric interpretation, to a different topology; states where a submanifold of spacetime has a noncommutative geometry; states with a variety of apparent geometric singularities, where the physics is nonsingular.

The problem of moduli stabilization, necessary for any nonsupersymmetric compactification (and positive energy density states are necessarily nonsupersymmetric) was left for the future; there were no general results or predictions.

Still, most people believe quite strongly that many of the qualitative features found in the supersymmetric case will carry over to the nonsupersymmetric case.

There exist tachyon free models in nonsupersymmetric spacetime.

Direct results on the nonsupersymmetric case have been few and far between.

(And let’s not forget that we learned a tremendous amount about strongly coupled supersymmetric gauge theories from the work of Seiberg and other string theorists, all of whom would be thrilled if they could extend their results to nonsupersymmetric cases.)

Sorry, it wasn’t clear to me, at all, that when you use the phrase “chiral gauge theories,” you mean “nonsupersymmetric chiral gauge theories”.

There we’re in complete agreement that “Direct results on the nonsupersymmetric case have been few and far between”.
