Abstract: (WSP)
We study the structure of effective actions of closed-string theory at order α′2, when the dilaton field is included. We show, in particular, that the way field-redefinition ambiguities are fixed at order a’ affects the order-α′2 results, and find that, as a consequence, different forms for the effective action existing in the literature are in fact equivalent. We discuss the implications of our results for the conjectured relationship between string equations of motion and σ-model β functions.
