Description

Higher derivative terms in M-theory are investigated by applying the Noether method. Cancellation of variations under the local supersymmetry is examined to the order linear in $F$ by a computer program. Structure of $R^4$ terms is uniquely determined and exactly matches with one-loop effective terms in type IIA superstring theory. A part of $R^3F^2$ terms is also determined.
