Abstract
We study a standard-embedding heterotic string compactification on with a Wilson line turned on and perform a world-sheet calculation of string threshold correction. The result can be expressed in terms of the quantities appearing in the two-loop calculation of bosonic string. We also comment and speculate on the relevance of our result to generalized Kac-Moody superalgebra and heterotic-type IIA duality.
