Abstract
We give an interpretation of the non-supersymmetric heterotic theories as the supersymmetric heterotic theories on Melvin background with Wilson lines. The coincidence of the partition functions are shown for most of the non-supersymmetric theories. We also discuss the tachyonic instability in terms of the non-trivial background fields. The behavior in the strong coupling region is investigated by using the duality relations of the supersymmetric theories.
