The D12R4 interactionConclusions
It is important to understand the effective action of stringtheory/M theory in various backgrounds.The effective action encodes important information aboutthe various duality symmetries of the theory, which allowsus to calculate various perturbative as well asnon–perturbative effects. Every term in the effective actionencodes non–trivial information about the S matrices of thetheory.This effective action leads to duality covariant equations ofmotion.

The D12R4 interactionConclusions
Calculating the effective action is difficult in general, butcertain terms in the effective action in maximallysupersymmetric theories can be calculated exactly, theseare BPS protected.The non–BPS terms are much more difficult to determine. Ishall discuss a particular case in detail where string theorygives some information about such a term in the M theoryeffective action.

The D12R4 interactionConclusions
Our aim is to look at the local, purely gravitationalinteractions in the M theory effective action in 11dimensional flat spacetime, perhaps the simplest case tostudy.This theory has 32 supersymmetries, which shouldconstrain its effective action, like other theories with such alarge amount of supersymmetry.

The D12R4 interactionConclusions
For k ≤ 3, the IIA interactions are BPS and receive only afinite number of perturbative contributions. Thus the Mtheory interactions are easily read off from the coefficientsof the perturbative amplitudes.Thus the R4 and D6R4 interactions are non–vanishing inthe M theory effective action, while the D4R4 interactionvanishes.

The interactions D2kR4 for k ≥ 4 are non–BPS. Hence thetype IIA interactions are expected to receive perturbativecontributions from all orders in the genus expansion.Thus the M theory interactions are difficult to determinebecause the type IIA coefficients have to extracted atstrong coupling.Can we still make some statements about these non-BPSinteractions, for small values of k?

Though the complete coefficient of the M theory interactionis difficult to determine, it is plausible that for low values ofn, a part of the coefficient will have features qualitativelydescribed by the genus (n + 1) amplitude, namely thetranscendentality.We shall do the analysis for the D12R4 interaction. Theanswer we shall get generalizes the transcendentalstructure for n = 0 and n = 1. Also there is agreement witha particular supergravity calculation that is valid at strongcoupling (to be reviewed later).

The D12R4 interactionConclusions
The spacetime structure of the R4 interaction in flat spacehas two kinds of contributions:(i) t8t8R4
(ii) ±ε10ε10R4
These follow directly from the string amplitude calculations.The perturbative contributions to (i) are the same in IIA andIIB, hence this is the part we calculate.

Natural to try to generalize to higher values of n.D18R4 interaction is the next one. The couplings for thesecoefficients satisfy Poisson equations with non–BPSsource terms like the couplings for the D8R4,D10R4 andD12R4 interactions.Analogous analysis using known perturbative amplitudesusing supersymmetry yields a genus 4 amplitude withcoefficient ∼ ζ(2)4(Ω1 + Ω2ζ(3) + Ω3ζ(5)).It is plausible the structure of transcendentality continuesat strong coupling showing that the D18R4 M theoryinteraction has at least the terms
