The Riemann curvature correction to the type II supergravity at eight-derivative level in string frame is given as e^{-2\phi}(t_8t_8R^4+\frac{1}{4}\eps_{8}\eps_{8}R^4). For constant dilaton, it has been extended in the literature to the…

Quantum theory of dilaton gravity is studied in $2+\epsilon$ dimensions. Divergences are computed and renormalized at one-loop order. The mixing between the Liouville field and the dilaton field eliminates $1/\epsilon$ singularity in the…
