In this paper the authors consider the interrelation between compactified string theories on torus and gauge fields on it. The authors start from open string theories with background gauge fields and derive partition functions by path integral. Since the effects of background fields and compactification correlate only through string zero modes, we investigate these zero modes. From this point of view, the authors discuss the Wilson loop mechanism at finite temperature. For the closed string, only a few comments are mentioned.
