abstract

It is known that the order $\alpha'$ correction to the tree-level effective action for the bosonic and heterotic string can be described in the framework of Double Field Theory (DFT). Here we determine the DFT action and transformations at order $\alpha'^2$ by a direct calculation. The result is vastly simpler than previous proposals. We show that this correction reproduces the known $\alpha'^2$ correction to the heterotic string effective action. The relation of our action to an (implicit) all order proposal coming from the so-called generalized Bergshoeff-de Roo identification is also discussed.

  1. $\alpha'$-Bootstrap

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    An infinite-dimensional algebraic structure on a megaspace yields recursive, T-duality-covariant NS-NS α' and α'^{2} corrections matching known bosonic and heterotic results up to field redefinitions.

  2. Generalized Bergshoeff-de Roo identification in the Supergravity frame

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new parametrization of the O(D,D+k) vielbein makes the generalized Bergshoeff–de Roo identification work directly in the supergravity frame, giving an all-order action whose O(α′^2) part has only three couplings.

  3. Perturbative K\"ahler Moduli Inflation

    hep-th 2025-06 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    Two classes of slow-roll inflation potentials, V0(1+C1 φ^(2/3)) and V0(1-C2 φ^(-2/3)), are derived from perturbative Kähler moduli stabilization and give r below 10^-2 and 10^-8.
