abstract

The Green-Schwarz superstring action in a general type IIA or IIB supergravity background is derived up to fourth order in the Grassmann-odd coordinates theta. This is done by solving the superspace Bianchi identities order by order in theta, to quadratic order for all superfields and to quartic order for the supervielbeins. For a large class of backgrounds it is possible to fix the kappa symmetry in such a way that the action actually terminates at the quartic order in theta.
