Higher-derivative couplings in string theory: Five-point contact terms

We compute the tree-level H2R3 couplings of type II strings and provide some basic tests of the couplings by considering both K3 and Calabi-Yau threefold compactifications. Curiously, additional kinematical structures show up at tree level that are not present in the one-loop couplings. This has int...
