Higher-derivative gauge field terms in the M-theory action
Abstract
We use superparticle vertex operator correlators in the light-cone gauge to determine the (DF)2 R2 and (DF)4 terms in the M-theory effective action. Our results, when compactified on a circle, reproduce terms in the type-IIA string effective action obtained through string amplitude calculations.
