On dilaton dependence of type II superstring action

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-04-06 v4

Abstract

The supersymmetric action of type IIA D=10 superstring in N=2a, D=10 supergravity background can be derived by double dimensional reduction of the action of supermembrane coupled to D=11 supergravity. We demonstrate that the background Ramond-Ramond fields appear in the resulting superstring action with an extra factor of exponential of the dilaton.
