Abstract

We perform the toroidal compactification of the full Bergshoeff-de Roo version of the Heterotic Superstring effective action to first orderin α\alpha'. The dimensionally-reduced action is given in a manifestly-O(n,n)-invariant form which we use to derive a manifestly-O(n,n)-invariant Wald entropy formula which we then use to compute the entropy of α\alpha'-corrected, 4-dimensional, 4-charge, static, extremal, supersymmetric black holes.
