Abstract

We calculate the tadpole equations and their solutions for a class of four-dimensional orientifolds with orbifold group Z_N X Z_M, and we present the massless bosonic spectra of these models. Surprisingly we find no consistent solutions for the models with Z₂ X Z₄ and Z₄ X Z₄ orbifold groups.
