Abstract

The α2\alpha'^2 deformation of D=10 SYM is the natural generalisation of the F4F^4 term in the abelian Born-Infeld theory. It is shown that this deformation can be extended to α4\alpha'^4 in a way which is consistent with supersymmetry. The latter requires the presence of higher-derivative and commutator terms as well as the symmetrised trace of the Born-Infeld α4\alpha'^4 term.
