Popis: We investigate the structure of the moduli space of 9D heterotic interpolating models with a complete set of Wilson line backgrounds and a radius parameter by computing the one-loop partition functions and the cosmological constants and by deriving the massless spectra, paying attention to the region a≈0 where supersymmetry is asymptotically restoring. We find some special planes and points in the moduli space where the gauge symmetry is enhanced and/or massless fermions appear. The gauge symmetry is maximally enhanced at the minima of the one-loop effective potential where the cosmological constant is negative.
