alpha'-Corrections to Heterotic Superstring Effective Action Revisited

In this letter we establish that the supersymmetric R^2 effective action for the heterotic string, obtained from the supersymmetrisation of the Lorentz Chern-Simons term, is to order $α'$ equivalent modulo field redefinitions to heterotic string effective actions computed by different methods.

Selfduality of non-linear electrodynamics with derivative corrections

In this paper we investigate how electromagnetic duality survives derivative corrections to classical non-linear electrodynamics. In particular, we establish that electromagnetic selfduality is satisfied to all orders in $α'$ for the four-point function sector of the four dimensional open string effective action.
