Dynamical Equations from a First - Order Perturbative Superspace Formulation of 10 D , N = 1 String - Corrected Supergravity

Utilizing a first-order perturbative superspace approach, we derive the bosonic equations of motion for the 10D,N = 1 supergravity fields at both superspace and component field levels. These latter results are then shown to be derivable from a Lagrangian. Our treatment covers both the twoform and six-form formulations. Our Lagrangian, derived from superspace geometry, is compared with a first-order perturbative component-level Lagrangian. In a separate publication, a discussion of these results and their relation to some of the “conventional wisdom” on this topic will be treated.
