Nathan Berkovits, Generalization of the R^4 Conjecture

Generalization of the R^4 Conjecture Nathan Berkovits We propose SL(2,Z) (and SL(3,Z)) invariant conjectures for all $R^4 H^{4g-4}$ couplings of Type IIB strings on $R^{10}$ (and $R^8 x T^2$), generalizing conjectures of Green and Gutperle (and Kiritsis and Pioline) for the $R^4$ coupling. A strong check for our conjectures is that on $T^2$ at weak coupling, they reproduce the multiloop scattering amplitudes which had been previously computed using N=2 strings in the N=4 topological formalism.
