Description
I discuss the structure of multi-instanton and string loop corrections to the Kahler potential and the gauge kinetic function in type I toroidal orbifold models. For that aim, perturbative calculations of the physical gauge couplings on the heterotic S-dual are exploited, whenever such a perturbative description is available. The resulting corrections could play an important role in phenomenological models.
