Description

We describe the calculation of one- and two-loop radiative corrections for the heterotic superstring σ-model described by the Green-Schwarz action in a supergravity-Yang-Mills background. The corresponding β-functions vanish when the superspace equations of motion for the coupled supergravity-Yang-Mills system are satisfied. (orig.)
