Supersymmetric R4-actions in ten dimensions

  • 1. Inst. for Theoretical Physics, Groningen (Netherlands)

Description

We construct supersymmetric R+R4-actions in ten dimensions. Two invariants, of which the bosonic parts are known from string amplitude and sigma model calculations, are obtained. One of these invariants can be generalized to an R+F2+F4-invariant for supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory coupled to supergravity. Supersymmetry requires the presence of BandRandRandRandR-terms, (BandFandFandFandF for Yang-Mills) which correspond to counterterms in the Green-Schwarz anomaly cancellation. (orig.)
