Abstract
Using linearized superfields, R-4 terms in the Type II superstring eff ective action compactified on T-2 are constructed as integrals in N = 2 D = 8 superspace. The structure of these super space integrals allow s a simple proof of the R-4 non-renormalization theorems which were fi rst conjectured by Green and Gutperle. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
