Abstract
We calculate the Fayet-Iliopoulos D-terms generated at one loop for the heterotic string in any background which preserves four-dimensional space-time supersymmetry and maintains (2,0) world-sheet superconformal invariance. Although our calculation is performed in the full string theory, the result can be evaluated entirely in terms of properties of the massless spectrum. Furthermore it agrees with the result of a computation in the four-dimensional effective field theory using a stringy regularization. We also check our general result through a more explicit calculation in an orbifold background.
