O-plane couplings at order $\alpha'^2$: one R-R field strength
Abstract
It is known that the anomalous Chern-Simons (CS) coupling of O-plane is not consistent with the T-duality transformations. Compatibility of this coupling with the T-duality requires the inclusion of couplings involving one R-R field strength. In this paper we find such couplings at order . By requiring the R-R and NS-NS gauge invariances, we first find all independent couplings at order . There are couplings corresponding to the R-R field strengths , , , , and , respectively. We then impose the T-duality constraint on these couplings and on the CS coupling at order to fix their corresponding coefficients. The T-duality constraint fixes all coefficients in terms of the CS coefficient. They are fully consistent with the partial couplings that have been already found in the literature by the S-matrix method.
