Description
By explicit calculations we show that the one-loop parity-violating amplitude with six external gravitons is modular invariant and finite. As a natural consequence of the modular invariance and double periodicity of the amplitude with respect to torus parameters, the gravitational anomaly of type II superstring theory vanishes. (orig.)
