The main goal of this thesis is to study the moduli space of a broad set of compactifications of heterotic string theory and, in particular, to find and classify the list of gauge groups that are realized in such theories. We start by analyzing the case of circle compactifications, developing a technique to compute and represent the regions of enhancement on the moduli space. Using lattice embedding techniques, we state general criteria to establish whether a gauge group is realized or not on compactifications on Tᵈ, creating a series of algorithms to completely explore these moduli spaces. For d=2, we find that the respective gauge groups coincide with all possible singular fibers of extremal K3 surfaces, corroborating the duality with F-t...
