Exact non-perturbative results have been conjectured for R^4 couplings in type II maximally supersymmetric string theory. Strong evidence has already been obtained, but contributions of cusp forms, invisible in perturbation theory, have remained an open possibility. In this note, we use the D=8 N=2 superfield formalism of Berkovits to prove that supersymmetry requires the exact R^4 threshold to be an eigenmode of the Laplacian on the scalar manifold with a definite eigenvalue. Supersymmetry and U-duality invariance then identify the exact result with the order-3/2 Eisenstein series, and rule out cusp form contributions.

  1. Symmetries of non-maximal supergravities with higher-derivative corrections

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Higher-derivative corrections explicitly break all hidden symmetry enhancements in the three-dimensional reductions of non-maximal supergravities.

  2. The Double EFT Expansion in Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Quantum gravity EFT actions organize higher-curvature corrections into a field-theoretic expansion suppressed by the lightest new mass and a quantum-gravitational expansion suppressed by the species scale.

  3. Non-holomorphic $S^{\prime}_{4}$ modular symmetry for leptons and leptogenesis

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    36 viable non-holomorphic S'4 modular models for leptons are identified via numerical scans, with two yielding successful unflavored thermal leptogenesis from the real part of τ while fitting neutrino data.

  4. Uniqueness of D=8 minimal supergravity with two vector multiplets

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Under a duality symmetry assumption, minimal supergravity coupled to two vector multiplets in D=8 is uniquely fixed in the BPS sector by anomaly cancellation, uplifts, and gauge enhancement.

  5. Bounds on the next-to-leading Wilson coefficient in maximal supergravity

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The next-to-leading Wilson coefficient in D=7 maximal supergravity is minimized at the same U-duality symmetric point as the leading coefficient, supporting string universality.
