Abstract:

The original paper, as published in Nuclear Physics B in 1988, had a few factor-of-two errors. Some people got confused by those errors. The purpose of these errata is to make things clear. The revised version of the complete article is also posted to hep-th.

Note:

(For a completely revised version see hep-th/9205070)

string model
unified field theory
threshold: correction
vacuum state
field theory: orbifold
symmetry: Z(3)
coupling constant: renormalization
renormalization: coupling constant
grand unified theory
perturbation theory: higher-order
