F^4 Terms in N=4 String Vacua
C. Bachas, E. Kiritsis
We discuss terms in torroidal compactifications of type-I and heterotic SO(32) string theory. We give a simple argument why only short BPS multiplets contribute to these…

Aspects of Type I - Type II - Heterotic Triality in Four Dimensions
I. Antoniadis, C. Bachas, C. Fabre +2
We discuss the equivalence between Type I, Type II and Heterotic N=2 superstring theories in four dimensions. We study the effective field theory of Type I models obtained by orien…

Threshold effects in open-string theory
C. Bachas, C. Fabre
We analyze the one-loop effective gauge-field action in -orbifold compactifications of type-I theory. We show how, for non-abelian group factors, the threshold effects are ult…
