Title: Generalised GSO projections for Z-orbifold heterotic string compactifications with ''Wilson lines''

Abstract

It is shown that for Z-orbifold compactifications of the heterotic string with arbitrary ''Wilson lines'', all massless states in twisted string sectors which survive the ordinary GSO projection also survive the space group invariant projection (generalised GSO projection).
