Description
The volume of on-shell D = 4, N=8 superspace is shown to vanish. Despite this, it is shown that there is a fully supersymmetric and duality-invariant candidate ∇8R4 counterterm corresponding to an anticipated seven-loop logarithmic divergence in D = 4. We construct this counterterm explicitly and also give the complete nonlinear extension of the 1/8-BPS ∇6R4 invariant. Similar results are derived for {N}=4,5 and 6.
