Abstract: We study $calN=2$ compactifications of $E_{8}imes{E}_8$ heterotic string theory on orbifolds of $K3imes{T}^2$ by $g^{\prime }$ which acts as an $mathbb{Z}_N$ automorphism of $K3$ together with a$1/N$ shift on a circle of $T^2$. The orbifold action $g^{\prime }$ corresponds to the $26$ conjugacy classes of the Mathieu group $M_{24}$. We show that for the standard embedding the new supersymmetric index for these compactifications can always be decomposed into the elliptic genus of $K3$ twisted by $g^{\prime }$. The difference in one-loop corrections to the gauge couplings are captured by automorphic forms obtained by the theta lifts of the elliptic genus of $K3$ twisted by $g^{\prime }$. We work out in detail the case for which $g^{\prime }$ belongs to the equivalence class $2B$. We then investigate all the non-standard embeddings for$K3$ realized as a $T^4/mathbb{Z}_u$ orbifold with $u=2,4$ and $g^{\prime }$ the $2A$ involution. We show that for non-standard embeddings the new supersymmetric index as well as the difference in one-loop corrections to the gauge couplings are completely characterized by the instanton numbers of the embeddings together with the difference in number of hypermultiplets and vector multiplets in the spectrum.
