Abstract:
The non-minimal pure spinor formalism for the superstring is used to prove two new multiloop theorems which are related to recent higher-derivative R4R^4 conjectures of Green, Russo and Vanhove. The first theorem states that when 0<n<120<n<12, nR4\partial^n R^4 terms in the Type II effective action do not receive perturbative contributions above n/2n/2 loops. The second theorem states that when n8n\leq 8, perturbative contributions to nR4\partial^n R^4 terms in the IIA and IIB effective actions coincide.
