Abstract
The supersymmetric action of a type IIA D = 10 superstring in a N = 2a , D = 10 supergravity background can be derived by double-dimensional reduction of the action of a supermembrane coupled to D = 11 supergrav ity. We demonstrate that the background Ramond-Ramond fields appear in the resulting superstring action with an extra exponential factor of the dilaton.
