Abstract

We consider the one-loop B^2h^3 and B^4h amplitudes in type II string theory, where B is the NS-NS two-form and h the graviton, and expand to lowest order in alpha'. After subtracting diagrams due to quartic terms in the effective action, we determine the presence and structure of both an H^2R^3 and H^2(DH)^2R term. We show that both terms are multiplied by the usual (t_8t_8\pm{1/8}\epsilon_{10}\epsilon_{10}) factor.
