Compactified Space

The heterotic string of the uncompactified dimensions less than ten, D<10, without space-time supersymmetry is considered. The states which have excitations only in the instanton sectors appear in the spectrum. These states become tachyonic below or above a certain scale of the compactified space and make the vacuum unstable. These phenomena are understood as phase transitions due to noncontractible loop on the compactified space. The investigation into the effective potential tells that the phase transition is of first order. The properties of the new phase are studied both in the field theoretic and the stringy manners. The heterotic string at finite temperature in D<10 is also discussed.
